要約

When an Application Link is created in an Atlassian application, it attempts to connect to the target application's manifest. This manifest contains some important information from the target application such as the ID, name, type, version, application link version, and authentication types. If that information cannot be retrieved the application link will not be successfully created.

環境

All supported versions of Bamboo, connected to another application through an Application Link. 

ソリューション

When attempting to establish application links, the following HTTP requests are made:

1. The source application will query its own applicationlinkForm
2. The source then establishes an HTTP connection to the manifest of the target application

To quickly test how the application link is configured:

From Bamboo

• Go to your web browser (as a Bamboo administrator) and hit the following URL by replacing BAMBOO_BASE_URL with Bamboo's base URL: BAMBOO_BASE_URL/rest/applinks/1.0/listApplicationlinks.json

  • As a response, you must get application link information from the Bamboo server:

    
{"link":
    	{"id":"a51ee3ac-9a93-3009-b173-29dd192eb163",
    		"name":"Bamboo",
    		"displayUrl":http://bamboo801:8085,
    		"rpcUrl":http://bamboo801:8085,
    		"type":"bamboo"}
    	,"working":true,

    Take note of the id displayed in response (e.g. a51ee3ac-9a93-3009-b173-29dd192eb163).

• Go to your web browser (as a Bamboo administrator) and hit the following URL by replacing BAMBOO_BASE_URL with Bamboo's base URL and id: BAMBOO_BASE_URL/rest/applinks/3.0/status/a51ee3ac-9a93-3009-b173-29dd192eb163

• • You should get a result like the one below:

    
{"link":
    	{"id":"a51ee3ac-9a93-3009-b173-29dd192eb163",
    		"name":"Bamboo",
    		"displayUrl":http://bamboo801:8085,
    		"rpcUrl":http://bamboo801:8085,
    		"type":"bamboo"}
    	,"working":true,
    		"localAuthentication":{
    	"incoming":
    		{"enabled":true,
    		"twoLoEnabled":true,
    		"twoLoImpersonationEnabled":false}
    
    	,"outgoing":{
    		"enabled":true,
    		"twoLoEnabled":true,
    		"twoLoImpersonationEnabled":false}}
    
    		"remoteAuthentication":{
    	"incoming":
    		{"enabled":true,
    		"twoLoEnabled":true,
    		"twoLoImpersonationEnabled":false}
    
    	,"outgoing":
    		{"enabled":true,
    		"twoLoEnabled":true,
    		"twoLoImpersonationEnabled":false}
    }}

    The result from the test above allows us to see how the application link is configured and if there are any issues with it.

Also, to ensure that there's proper bi-directional communication between applications, run the cURL below: 

curl -H "Accept: application/json" http://HOST/ContextPath/rest/applinks/1.0/manifest -v 

If the application is properly set up, the result should return something such as the below:

* About to connect() to bamboo801 port 8085
*   Trying X.X.X.X...
* Connected to bamboo801 (10.65.1.91) port 8085
> GET /rest/applinks/1.0/manifest HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.29.0
> Host: bamboo801:8085
> Accept: application/json
> Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
>
< HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established
<
* Proxy replied OK to CONNECT request

In case the connection is not established please take a look at our Application Link Troubleshooting Guide.
