Hosted VCS Servers
You can enable a VCS integration between YouTrack and a hosted VCS server. This option lets you connect YouTrack to the following installations:
Establish a Secure Connection
Your hosted VCS server may require that you establish a secure connection over SSL. Before you can add your hosted server to YouTrack, you may need to import its SSL certificate.
- If your hosted VCS server has a valid certificate that is signed by a well-known certificate authority (CA), the public key and certificate are already stored in the web browser. You should be able to connect to your hosted server without importing its SSL certificate.
- If the certificate for your server is self-signed, you need to import the certificate and public key to establish a secure connection. For security, use this option only when both YouTrack and your hosted VCS server run on a private computer network.
To enable a secure connection between YouTrack and your hosted VCS server:
- Export the certificate and public key for your VCS server as a DER-encoded file. These files use the .der, .cer, and .crt extensions.
- In the Server Settings area of the Administration menu, select SSL Certificates
- Click the Import trusted certificate button.
- In the Import Trusted Certificate dialog, enter a name for the certificate.
- Click the Choose file button and select the certificate file from your local directory.
- Click the Import button.
Connect to a Hosted Server
You can add your hosted server to the list of cloud servers that are available for VCS integrations. Integrations with a hosted server provide the same functionality that is provided for cloud-based code repositories.
To connect to a hosted VCS server:
- Open the page.
- Click the Add Server link.
- Enter values for the following settings:
- Click the Save button.
You can now enable VCS integrations that connect with your hosted server.
