<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Re: passwords: CVS stored your password in
a “.cvspass” file in your home directory when you first did a “cvs
login” and may well send it every time (or maybe once and use a token;
not sure). Subversion uses whatever method you set on the web server … If
you use https with subversion you are using a public key to encrypt the data,
but in our case you would still be sending a password (stored somewhere on your
computer) as we are using http basic auth. We could issue certificates and use
them instead of “basic auth”, but I’m not sure we need to. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>What do you do about accounts and password
for your TRAC – are they loaded from some central area? I’m sort of
conscious of the possibility of being spammed and so ideally would require an
account for submitting issues as well, hence the idea of linking to mediawiki
as that has an account creation, verification and “send me a new password”
system already in place. Your roles sound reasonable … if you have a
script that creates the roles and adds permissions it will save me a load of
trac-admin commands. I guess we need to decide how we will use it Re:
definitions and also what is the status of the TRAK WIKI (like do we disable it
totally or use it as a developer whiteboard?)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

definitions as well. We’ve set up “roles” to promote
“appropriate use of trac. The roles are named (from least to most able):
[everybody, authenticated, developer, editor, admin]. What happens is that
“everybody” can create tickets and view most of the site,
“authenticated” can annotate tickets, “developer” can
change ticket state, “editor” can work with milestones. I
don’t think it is necessary to say what “admin” can do. I can
send you a list of information for setting this up.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
