The features discussed in this section require IQ Server and Nexus Repository Manager with the Repository license plus either the Firewall or Lifecycle license. |
The first step to enabling the features associated with Nexus IQ for Repository Manager is connecting to IQ Server. IQ Server is a separate server application that Repository Manager integrates with via API calls.
If this is your first time working with Nexus IQ Server, and you haven’t already installed and configured your IQ Server, you will want to do that before moving forward. Instructions can be found in the IQ Server Setup chapter.
To configure the connection to IQ Server, follow these instructions:
Enter the username and password.
It is recommended that you create a unique machine account with desired permissions for linking IQ Server with Repository Manager. At a minimum, the account needs Evaluate Individual Components permission at the repositories level for Audit and Quarantine features and/or Evaluate Applications permission at the application level for Staging functionality. For more information about permissions, see Role Management in the Security Administration chapter. |
Optionally, you can configure these properties:
Enter information in the Properties input field using a key=value definition per line. An example is
procArch=false ipAddresses=true operatingSystem=false
These properties are passed to IQ Server and can, for example, determine what properties are logged as part of a validation. Consult the IQ Server documentation for suitable parameters. In most use cases you will not need to configure any properties.
If successfully connected, a list of available applications will be displayed as seen in Figure 12.1, “IQ Server Connection Tab in Repository Manager”. For more information of setting up organizations, applications, and policies, please review the chapter on Policy Management.
Alternatively you can enable, disable, and/or configure IQ Server integration by adding the IQ: Server Connection capability like any other capability as documented in the Accessing and Configuring Capabilities section of the Nexus Repository Manager book.
The features described here require licenses for Nexus Repository Manager as well as IQ Server. These are made available through purchase of our solutions. You can obtain them from our support team and will have to install them prior to the configuration. |
