Source Code Management connection object

A Connection object contains the parameters that make the communication between the Agent and the target system possible. These parameters (target system endpoint, login data and so on) are required to authenticate on and connect to the target cloud solution.

Important!

This Connection object is only relevant for K8s Run Jobs when you select the SCM job definition type.

As an administrator user, you create the SCM Connection objects that provide the log in data required to establish the connection to the Kubernetes Source Code Management (SCM) system.

As a developer or object designer, you assign the respective SCM Connection object to the K8s Run Job if you want to use the SCM job definition type to create and execute Run jobs on the Kubernetes system without leaving the Automic Web Interface.

The Connection Object definition consists of an Agent-specific page and other pages that are common to all Connection objects.

This topic explains how to configure the SCM Connection object for Kubernetes.

SCM Page

Source Code Management page

The SCM-specific page consists of the SCM Connection section which allows you to define the parameters relevant for the connection to the SCM system:

Authentication Type

Authentication type for the SCM connection.

The options available are the following:

  • Basic Authentication

    Credentials required to log into SCM
