Is it possible to make cvs accessible for domain users?

hypoui · 12-05-2006, 02:54 AM

[FONT="Arial"]I have set up a cvs server for others to access using pserver. Now it only allows local user to access the cvs.
I wonder if there is any solution to cvs server accessible for domain users.My linux server has been added into local domain by using krb5 and pam, winbind.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

AFAIK, pserver has very limited functionality. Its there just because CVS needs to have _some_ sort of independent server bundled with it. If you are looking for any advanced functionality, I'd figure out another way to connect to CVS.

If you've already got domain authentication working in linux, then I'm _pretty_ sure you should be able to use the 'ext:' protocol to connect to CVS.

basically, set CVS_RSH=ssh, and CVSROOT=ext:user@host:/path/to/repo
