Hi,
I have very recently began trialling Plastic and thus far I am extremely impressed! This really does seem to be (one of, at least) the best out there. I really like the paradigm behind the whole system.
One relatively minor issue I have encountered (but it's very simple to fix!) is to do with the SSL secure certificate support.
I have configured a CA certificate to be used, but it's a wildcard certificate which means the common name (CN) is *.domain.com instead of just domain.com.
While Plastic SCM does allow it to be used, and all communication is secure, when first launching the application a dialog pops up with the following :-
WARNING: the hostname provided in the server certificate doesn't match the server's hostname. This means that the certificate was not issued to this hostname or that there is a network configuration problem with this host.
- Certificate hostname: CN=*.domain.com
- Server hostname: CN=host.domain.com
If you want to continue connecting to this host, choose 'Yes'. The certificate validation will continue (not recommended).
If you want to abandon the connection, choose 'No' (recommended).
As I said, this pops up every time the application is started (or a new/different connection initiated within the app) so it's a bit annoying and would be so easy to fix. The developers simply need to correctly handle the meaning of *. at the beginning of a CN, just like all modern browsers do.
I look forward to continuing my journey with Plastic and judging by what I've read thus far, with Codice being super responsive to issues and this being simple to resolve, I also look forward to a fix in the next external release.
Thanks again for creating such an awesome SCM.
Regards.
