GForge AS server management and admin


My company is since a while using GForge AS to manage software development (trackers, time tracking). SVN server is linked to it for source code management.

The person that introduced GForge and managed it in the past is now gone from the company and unfortunately no knowledge transfer was done ! ...

I now need to add new users for brand new developpers that we just hired and of course I start to have issues. I am able with no issue to create users on the gforge side, however I can get these users to be able to connect to the svn repository...

GForge is running in a VMWare that I think is coming from the GForge website.

I have no clue where to start to find out how to solve my problems ! Any help or idea would be most appriciated !

Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • I found a temporary work around. Password encryption is done with php crypt() function. So I was able to encrypt the passwords and put them in the svnroot-authfile. It is far from automatic, but at least I have a solution !
