Installing Mingle Support
Installation instructions
To integrate with Mingle, you need to change the settings in the Mingle instance to enable basic authentication for minglyn connector to work.
The Mingle API supports basic authentication. However it is disabled in the default configuration.
To enable basic authentication, you need set the basic_authentication_enabled configuration option to true in the Mingle <data directory>/config/auth_config.yml file, where Mingle data directory is the path to the mingle data directory on your installation.
basic_authentication_enabled: true

Using Minglyn
- Use Window > Show view > Other, to access a list of available views.
- Expand the tree list named Mylyn, and choose Task Repositories. This brings up the Task Repository View, which allows you to track the list of task repositories you can access.
- Navigate to the Task Repository View, right-click, Add Task Repository.
Adding a task repository will facilitate tracking Tasks, Stories and Bugs from the project management tool (in this
case Mingle). Choose Mingle connector from a list of Mylyn connectors available.

- On the Mingle Repository Settings wizard, specify the project URL (of the project which holds your tasks), and also other related details. Validate and then proceed to finish.
- Once a repository is created, open the Mingle project in your browser and copy the link for the tasks you wish to fetch.
- To fetch Mingle cards in Twist, open the "Task List" view. Right click on the "Task List" view and select New > Query. Provide a good name for the list of tasks and the URL that you copied from the browser. Click Finish once you're done.
- Minglyn will now provide a list of tasks that it fetched from your Mingle project.
- Double click on one of the tasks to open it up in the editor area in Twist. To edit the task, click on the Mingle tab at the bottom.
- Proceed to Link your scenarios with mingle once you're done.
