Hi
I emailed CVSNT group but couldn't details
about configuring Active directory in Sun Solaris server. They just pointed
me to CVSNT manual which was not what i am looking for. Since you have
configured active directory for CVS installed in Linux can you please provide
me the steps you followed for configuring active directory in Linux. I
believe the steps must be same for Sun Solaris too.
Thanks,

Ganesh,
These appear to be questions about
CVSNT. Questions about CVSNT should be directed to the CVSNT newsgroup:
http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt
or
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt
Regards,
Arthur Barrett

Hi,
Thanks for your inputs. It is very helpful.
Need some more details about the options you mentioned.
1) Is there a documentation or manual available which explains in detail
about authentication via Microsoft Active directory for CVSNT server?.
From
your email we understand that if we go for this approach it would be a
login free solution, how can we control access to repositories then?.
2) We are also looking for a guide that would explain in detail about the
Migration steps from CVS to CVSNT. We would want to know how easy/difficult
it is.
Thanks,

Ganesh,
There are two approaches - one uses CVS and PServer (which is what you
are asking about) and the other uses CVSNT (yes it runs on Solaris) and
a protocol called SSPI.
The SSPI technique results in encrypted "login free" transactions
from Windows/PC clients (same as "net use" does) by passing the
login token of the logged in user to the server.
Wiith the PServer technique you will need to use "cvs login"
which usually results in the password being stored in a file (or in the
case of windows the registry) in an insecure/trivially encoded format).
If you are looking for a "login free" solution then you will
need to switch to CVSNT on your Solaris server and Windows/PC clients (you
probably already are using CVSNT on the Windows PC clients) and direct
your questions to the CVSNT newsgroup. I've personally used this
on Linux but not on Solaris though it should work identically.
According to google search (search for "cvs pam site:ximbiot.com"
without the quotes) the PAM support in CVS 1.12.13 (the unstable version)
is experimental. PAM support (for CVS PSERVER access) as well as
SSPI support has been in stable CVSNT releases for a few years at least.
CVSNT Newsgroup details are on cvsnt.org/wiki

Arthur Barrett

Subject: CVS and
Active Directory
Hi,
We are trying to setup authentication of CVS against Active Directory.
I did a google , from what I understand, that the CVS can be authenticated
against
active directory by modifying the PAM settings (pam.conf) for CVS. I would
like to know in detail the steps/settings change we need to follow to make
this work.
Current CVS set up
CVS Version - 1.11.21 (client/server)
OS - CVS installed in Sun solaris server.
Authentication - Uses pserver mechanism for authentication. Passwords
are
currently stored in passwd file.
Please provide us the changes/modifications needed for the current set
up
to authenticate against Active directory.
Thanks in advance!
