if the general duties of a FA Admin are to safeguard from protential viruses,phising and DOS attacks then you would want to be aware of the rules the Firewall admin imposes
one way for maven to handle access to potentially insecure sites is maven-proxy maven-proxy would ensure unauthenticated port80 requests would have to use some means of authentication other requests (such as pre-authenticated SSL sites) would flow thru using (some manner of) SSL tunnel http://maven-proxy.codehaus.org/Configuration If you're actively involved in a Software Project the better way is thru Software Control Management process where you would need a SCM plugin http://maven.apache.org/scm/plugins/index.html this way the SCM has knowledge of whats going in and out of the repository and can track according to supplied username,password credentials it would also handle who is working on which version and branch splits and merges HTH Martin Gainty ______________________________________________ Verzicht und Vertraulichkeitanmerkung/Note de déni et de confidentialité Diese Nachricht ist vertraulich.
