EA Addin Configuration
There are certain features that can be configured in a specific configuration file, found in the path %appdata%\LieberLieber\LemonTree.Connect.codebeamer\config.json.
The following table explains the different options that can be set.
Restoring the default configuration
If you accidentially destroy this file, remove it completely, restart EA, open any project and add a new codebeamer server configuration. This will create a new config file with default values.
Global Addin Settings
| Setting | Meaning | Allowed Values |

| DefaultServer | Sets the default server. Refers to one of the configured server by the identifier. | This list propety shall not be updated in the JSON file. This property is written and read by the dialog "Configure codebeamer Server Settings" |
| LocalListener | Configures the local listener for an OIDC callback. | Port: Any valid port Timeout: Value in seconds Response Page: Path the html file or valid URL Autostart: true or false |

Token Refresh Time Buffer in Seconds
For all Open ID Connect server configurations there is special setting, which can only be set directly in the config.json and not in the Server Configuration Dialog (Credentials for the codebeamer Server):
| Setting | Meaning | Allowed Values |
|---|---|---|
| TokenRefreshTimeBufferInMinutes | When using an OIDC authentication, LemonTree.Connect has to request a token from the server. A token usually has a defined validity period. For longer data transfers, LemonTree.Connect automatically refreshes the token before it becomes invalid. However in some cases, operations can take too long before LemonTree.Connect is able to get a new token. The configured number is to have a buffer time to ensure a token is requested before LemonTree.Connect runs into a timeout. | Any positive number, which is should be smaller as the token validity period. Recommended is 5 or 10. |
