Connect to GitServer w/o installing PlasticSCM client?

[Ofirk]

Hi,

I have a PlasticSCM server which authenticate the users using LDAP.

I'm using a Linux VM which is created automatically. 

Is there an option to connect, from the VM, to the Plastic's git sever without installing & configuring the PlasticSCM client?

 

Tx,

Hi,

Configuring a Plastic SCM client shouldn't be necessary to enable the GitServer feature, but please install the "plasticscm-complete" package so it includes also the client binaries and libraries.

Regards,

Carlos.

Hi Carlos

I probably did not explain myself properly.

I do have a working Plastic server with GitServer enabled. The question is how do I clone an existing repo from the (git) server? how to I provide the credentials?

In normal scenario, I have PlasticSCM client installed so I assume the credentials comes from there (LDAP authentication ?).

In this case, I create a VM automatically, so I want to skip the client configuration.

Hi,

The GitServer feature allows the Plastic server to understand the git protocol to you can use the git client to clone the Plastic repos.

But if you need to sync a git repo with a Plastic repo, you will need to use the GitSync feature (GitSync is a client side operation):

Please let us know if it helps.
