Configuration problem using Ubuntu 14 and LDAP authentication

[swinkler]

Hi,

 

I'm having a problem configuring the SCM client running on Ubuntu 14 (in a VMWare virtual machine hosted on W8) and using LDAP authentication. I installed the client following the recommendation of manu in this thread http://www.plasticscm.net/index.php?/topic/2193-install-on-ubuntu-1404/.

When configuring the client the follwoing message appears after clicking "Test connection".

 

 

I have no clue what the problem is and how to solve this. Can you please provide help? Thanks!

Hi,

 

Could you check if there is "remoting.conf" file in the Plastic client folder?

 

This is my "remoting.conf" sample file:

 

<configuration>
    <system.runtime.remoting>
        <application>
            <channels>
                <channel type="Codice.Channels.PlasticTcpChannel, plastictcpchannel" name="normal">
                    <clientProviders>
                        <provider type="Codice.Channels.ClientSinkProvider, plastictcpchannel" />
                        <formatter ref="binary" />
                    </clientProviders>
                </channel>
                <channel type="Codice.Channels.PlasticSecuredTcpChannel, plastictcpchannel" >
                    <clientProviders>
                        <provider type="Codice.Channels.ClientSinkProvider, plastictcpchannel" />
                        <formatter ref="binary" />
                    </clientProviders>
                </channel>
            </channels>
        </application>
    </system.runtime.remoting>
</configuration>

Hi Carlos,

 

yes I have the same remoting.conf as you posted and it's in ./scripts/remoting.conf.

 

By the way I'm starting the client with "mono plastic.exe". Is that correct?

Stefan

Hi!

 

It sounds to me like there's something wrong at the server side, are you having a remoting.conf file there?

[swinkler]

Hi,

 

yes we have a remoting.conf on the server. I'm running the plastic client on Windows 8 too, but with AD authentication and it works so far. 

<configuration>
    <system.runtime.remoting>
        <application>
            <channels>
                <channel type="Codice.Channels.PlasticTcpChannel,plastictcpchannel" port="8087" name="normal">
                    <serverProviders>
                        <formatter type="Codice.Channels.PlasticBinaryServerFormatterSinkProvider, plastictcpchannel" typeFilterLevel="Full" Compression="sinklevel" SerializationObjectsAtSink="true" BufferPoolMax="10"/>
                        <provider type="Codice.CM.Server.ExceptionTracerSinkProvider, servercommon" />
                    </serverProviders>
                    <clientProviders>
                        <provider type="Codice.Channels.ClientSinkProvider, plastictcpchannel" />
                        <formatter ref="binary" />
                    </clientProviders>
                </channel>
                
                <channel type="Codice.Channels.PlasticSecuredTcpChannel, plastictcpchannel" port="8088" sslPfxFile="ssl-certificate.pfx" sslPfxFilePassword="|SoC|pwd" name="secured">
                    <serverProviders>
                        <formatter type="Codice.Channels.PlasticBinaryServerFormatterSinkProvider, plastictcpchannel" typeFilterLevel="Full" Compression="sinklevel" SerializationObjectsAtSink="true" BufferPoolMax="10"/>
                        <provider type="Codice.CM.Server.ExceptionTracerSinkProvider, servercommon" />
                    </serverProviders>
                    <clientProviders>
                        <provider type="Codice.Channels.ClientSinkProvider, plastictcpchannel" />
                        <formatter ref="binary" />
                    </clientProviders>
                </channel>
            </channels>
        </application>
    </system.runtime.remoting>
</configuration>

Hi,

 

Are you using SSL port? Have you imported your own certificate?

Carlos

[swinkler]

Hi,

 

no we don't use SSL and we didn't import any certificates. As I said from my Windows client the connection works fine without SSL on port 8087 using AD authentication.

Hi,

 

Can you send us the server and the client log to check if we can figure out what´s happening?

 

The client log is not activated by default: http://www.plasticscm.com/infocenter/technical-articles/kb-enabling-logging-for-plastic-scm-part-i.aspx

Hi, 

 

I sent you the two log files. The server side log file is called plastic.server.log not loader.log.txt as stated in the documentation. I have no loader.log.txt file. Hope this helps! 

 

Regards,

Stefan

The problem was resolved by using the dedicated Ubuntu 14 version of plasticscm-client. The steps can be found here: http://www.plasticscm.net/index.php?/topic/2193-install-on-ubuntu-1404/
