Windows¶

There are numerous graphical front ends to the various packages on Windows; regardless which
front-end you choose, you will need to configure the back-end part below.

Back Ends¶

For write access to repositories on cdcvs, I am currently recommending that users use the old GetCert bundle and the ssh in there if you want an old, tried and true setup.

Then there are a few steps to get things setup:

1. Install the contents of kca.zip in a directory.
2. Create three environment variables
   1. (local) KRB5CCNAME = C:\Users\yourUsername\AppData\Local\Temp\krb5_cc_cache Notes: Requires full read/write access. There may also be an issue with spaces in the file name and/or path.
   2. (system) KRB5_CONFIG = [Path from step 1 above]\krb5.conf
   3. (system) CVS_RSH = [Path from step 1 above]\ssh.exe
      by doing:
   • Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
   • Click the Advanced tab.
   • Click Environment variables.
   • Click one the following options, for either a user or a system variable:
     • Click New to add a new variable name and value.
     • Click an existing variable, and then click Edit to change its name or value.
     • Click an existing variable, and then click Delete to remove it.

1. Changes to NetID manager — NetIDSetup.jpg
   1. Open Network Identity Manager
   2. Double click your default identify (username@FNAL.GOV)
   3. Click "Identify configuration"
   4. Select the Kerberos V5 tab
   5. Change the Credential cache location to file: plus the value of the KRB5CCNAME environment variable set in step 2.1 above. See screen shot example.
   6. Close all open windows then renew your the credentials for username@fnal.gov.
   7. Verify your tickets by opening a DOS window and entering klist. See screen shot example.

Check if it works:¶

try to login on the server with ssh. In a cmd.exe window:

ssh p-project@cdcvs.fnal.gov echo hi

(where "project" is your project name). You should get

Only 'lscvs' and 'cvs' commands are allowed

CVS¶

Subversion¶

Configure Subversion to use plink/ssh for “svn+ssh” uri.

• Edit the file c:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Subversion\config
  (with your username for "user") * Locate the section named [tunnels] * Add the following line :

ssh=c:/path/to/plink.exe 

for the Putty setup, or for ssh

ssh=c:/path/to/ssh.exe

Git¶

Set GIT_SSH in your environment to C:\path\to\plink.exe or C:\path\to\ssh.exe in your windows environment:

1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Click Environment variables.
4. Click one the following options, for either a user or a system variable:
   • Click New to add a new variable name and value. * Click an existing variable, and then click Edit to change its name or value. * Click an existing variable, and then click Delete to remove it.
