Setting Up Your CVS Repository Account

• Read the information available at Managing Projects.
• Your CVS repository account will be in the grace.umd.edu cluster. If you have a terpconnect account, you can use your school directoryID/Password to access your cvs account in the cluster. If you don't have a terpconnect account you can request one at http://www.oit.umd.edu/new/.
• Use the following information to set up your cvs account once you have your terpconnect account.
  • Host: linux.grace.umd.edu
  • Repository Path (to use in Eclipse's "Add CVS Repository" dialog form):
    
    /afs/glue/class/spring2013/cmsc/132/0101/public/YOUR_DIRECTORY_ID_HERE
    
    where YOUR_DIRECTORY_ID_HERE represents your directory id (NOT your student number.) Remember YOUR_DIRECTORY_ID_HERE is the same Directory Id you provide to access the Grades Server. Notice that you will use 0101 (regardless of the actual section you are registered in).
    
    IMPORTANT: students in the honor section will use 132h instead of 132 in the path above.
    
    
  • User: Your DirectoryID
  • Password: Password associated with your directory ID
  • Connection Type: extssh
  • "Use default port" unchanged.
  • Leave "Validate connection on finish" selected.
  • The secure storage can be used if desired; it is information solely stored in each Eclipse installation and independent of the CVS repository connections or connections that Eclipse has.
  • After selecting finish, you may get a warning about "authenticity of host can't be established"; Just ignore that message (select Yes).
• If you are having problems connecting to the repository:
  • Make sure you have used your directoryID at the end of the repository path.
  • Select the "Save Password" option while setting the CVS repository.
  • You must use "extssh" as the connection type.
