Unable to start the Zbot on windows machine

Hi ,

  I am trying to install the ZFJ-server zbot , but it seems to require the server authentication key , which i am not sure where i can find. I was hoping this installation will require the url for jira instance on which zephyr is installed, username  and pwd to that url. But instead it is seeking the server authentication key which i am not sure where i can get. But i understand this must be related to the authentication for the agent to connect to zephyr.

 

Can somebody throw some light on this please?

    Hi renuvish ,

     

    You can use postman to get the authorization key. select the authentication as basic, provide your user name and password. On the next tab you can get the auth key.
