Logging to cloud version through cm configure

[Sygan]

Hey

I'm trying to set up PlasticSCM for a Debian based Jenkins docker. 

I was able to install PlasticSCM but when I run the 

cm configure

and use the @cloud address as the Plastic SCM server address I get 
 

There was an error while checking the Plastic SCM server security mode.
Maybe the server is offline, or the address specified is wrong.

Is it a correct way of handling this. 

Also, how would I login to the account via the command line if the account is handled through Unity ID?

Hi,

Are you installing Plastic Cloud edition? If you are trying to configure a regular standalone Plastic client to a cloud server, please select the LDAP authentiation mode and enter your email and password. 

Also review there is not any network restriction, firewall... to reach the server.

I'm afraid you will need some web browser to enter the Unity ID credentials.

Potentially, as a workaround you could configure the Unity ID user in some Windows machine and paste all the client configuration files to your Linux server.

I have a same problem. I can't login PlasticSCM cloud with Unity ID on Linux CLI.

$ cm configure

I want to download remote PlasticSCM cloud repository on my linux machine. I don't have GUI environment so I could use CLI only. I already tried like the above but it doesn't work. In my case, LDAPWorkingMode doesn't work. I could login with Windows GUI, and client.conf file in Windows says WorkingMode is SSOWorkingMode. SSOWorkingMode doesn't exist in CLI.

Hi,

I'm afraid there is not an easy workaround to configure a Plastic client via Unity ID in a Linux machine with no web browser.  You should be able to configure it via CLI, but just user and password.

For the Unity ID authentiation, you may need to paste the configuration files from a Windows machine.

I'm checking with the team if we can somehow support it soon an an easier way.

Regards,

Carlos.
