Configuring the Connection to SBOM Insights

As part of enabling Code Insight exports to SBOM Insights, the System Administrator must define necessary properties to connect Code Insight to SBOM Insights.

To configure the connection to SBOM Insights, do the following:

  1. On the Code Insight Dashboard, click administration. The Administration page appears with a list of side tabs. (You can also access this page by clicking the icon in the upper right corner of the Code Insight web page to open the Code Insight main menu. From this menu, select ADMINISTRATION.)

  2. On the Administration page, select the System Settings tab on the left.

  3. In the Configure SBOM Insights section, complete the following fields to configure a connection to SBOM Insights. All these fields are required to export project inventory to SBOM Insights.

    FieldDescription
    SBOM Insights URLProvide the URL for your SBOM Insights instance, as in this example:
    https://sca-app.revenera.com
    This URL is shown in the address on your browser once you log into SBOM Insights, as shown in this example:
    Organization IdProvide the Organization ID in SBOM Insights to which the Code Insight data will be exported. This ID is shown in the address on your browser once you log into SBOM Insights, as shown in this example:
    API Refresh TokenEnter the API refresh token generated in SBOM Insights. This token is required to give Code Insight access to SBOM Insights. Instructions for generating this token are found in the SBOM Insights user documentation.

  4. Click Test Connection to determine whether a connection can be successfully established between Code Insight and SBOM Insights.

    • If a connection is established, a “Test Connection Successful” message is displayed in the upper right of the screen.

    • If the connection fails, an error message is displayed, explaining the error. Edit the connection information as needed and test the connection again.

  5. Click Save to store the connection properties in the Code Insight database.

    This step also tests the connection. If the connection fails, an error message is displayed and the data is not saved. Edit the information as needed and try to save again.
