CVS Provider should support SSPI transport
------------------------------------------
Key: SCM-277
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-277
Project: Maven SCM
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: maven-scm-provider-cvs
Environment: Windows XP Pro, CVSNT 2.0.51d, Maven 2.0.4
Reporter: Daniel Siegmann
Attachments: AbstractCvsScmProvider.java.patch
The CVS provider should support connections via the SSPI protocol (for Windows
domain authentication). Though this is not supported by CVS, it is supported by
CVSNT (which is a superset of CVS, and is open source).
The SCM connection should should be specified as:
{{scm:cvs:sspi:host:path:module}}
I have implemented this functionality. The only changes are in
AbstractCvsScmProvider.java, for which I have attached a patch. The changes are
hopefully easy to understand. The only limitation I have noticed in my
implementation is that CvsScmProviderRepository cannot be created with a null
user. So I have passed in "" for the user. This results in an additional '@'
symbol prefixing the host which should not be present, but this has not caused
any errors in my tests.
I have not provided any unit tests, since there are no unit tests for the other
transports. I have simply done some testing on my local system. I was able to
successfully use both scm:update and scm:checkin.
I did have one error when using scm:checkin. This command failed due to the
property connectionUrl not being defined. This property should retrieve its
value from the SCM connection defined in the POM. When I explicitly defined
this property on the command line, scm:checkin completed successfully. I do not
know whether this is related to the work I have done, but I assume this is
handled elsewhere. Please let me know if I should file a separate bug report.
Note that this functionality will require that the CVS executable (cvs.exe)
which is present on the path be provided by CVSNT.
