CI/CD Connection Profiles

The following topics describe connection profiles for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) services.

Azure DevOps Connection Profile Parameters

Before you can define a job, you must create a connection profile in the Configuration domain. A connection profile contains authorization credentials—such as the username, password, and other plug-in-specific parameters—and enables you to connect to the application server with only the connection profile name. To create a connection profile, see Creating a Centralized Connection Profile.

For more information about this plug-in, see Control-M for Azure DevOps.

The following table describes Azure DevOps connection profile parameters.

Parameter

Description

Azure DevOps URL

Defines the Azure DevOps source hostname.

Default: https://dev.azure.com

Organization ID

Azure Username

Azure DevOps Token

Determines the Personal Access Token (PAT), with a defined expiration date and scope of access, that connects to an Azure DevOps job. You can retrieve the token from Azure DevOps Configurations.

By default, each authentication type uses an Azure token that is valid for 24 hours. You can extend token lifetimes through Azure.

Use External Vault

Determines the number of seconds to wait after Control-M initiates a connection request to Azure DevOps before a timeout occurs.
