h2. 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:

# Install the contents of kca.zip (linked at the bottom of this page)  in C:\PROGRA~1\KCA

# Create three environment variables

## (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.

## (system) KRB5_CONFIG = C:\PROGRA~1\KCA\krb5.conf

## (system) CVS_RSH = C:\PROGRA~1\KCA\ssh.exe

## (system) GIT_SSH = C:\PROGRA~1\KCA\ssh.exe

** 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.

# Changes to NetID manager  see "NetIDSetup.jpg":https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/attachments/81/NetIDSetup.jpg

## Open Network Identity Manager

## Double click your default identify (username@FNAL.GOV)

## Click "Identify configuration"

## Select the Kerberos V5 tab

## 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.

## Close all open windows then renew your the credentials for username@fnal.gov.

## Verify your tickets by opening a DOS window and entering klist.  See screen shot example.

h2. Check if it works:

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

<pre>

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

</pre>

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

   Only 'lscvs' and 'cvs' commands are allowed

h2. CVS

The CVS_RSH environment variable should make :ext: CVSROOT's work in WinCVS, TortiseCVS, etc.

h2. GIT

The GIT_SSH environment variable should make ssh:/... repository paths work with Git tools.

h2. 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/ssh.exe
