System Security Tool connectors
A system Security Tool connector captures general configuration settings that are applied to all SD Elements project Security Tools connections linked to it.
Security sensitive configurations such as server, username, and password, as well as common settings, are generally set at the system level.
-
Consistency: ALM connections based on a system connector share the same underlying configuration.
-
Confidentiality: Project teams can connect to an ALM without ever knowing the credentials used to connect with the system.
