Integrate a source code server

A site must have one or more servers to handle source code repositories and users. The source code server can be the same server as the application server or a separate server.

1. Go to My Workspace > Admin.
2. Click INTEGRATIONS.
3. On the SCM INTEGRATIONS page, click Create.
4. On the Create Integration page, write a name and description for the integration.
5. Choose the type of SCM server you want.
   Restriction: When you give a group access to a CVS or Wandisco Subversion repository, members of the group can view the repository but cannot do repository actions, such as commit and update. You must assign those permissions to users individually.
   Note: The SCM Adapter option only works if you have created your own SCM integration using the CollabNet TeamForge SOAP APIs.
6. Supply the host name for the Soap Service Host. This is the network address of the machine on which the integrated service, such as Subversion, is running.
   Note: The default localhost will work only if the integration server is on the same server as the CollabNet TeamForge server.
7. Leave the default values in the SOAP Service Port field.
8. Specify whether users will use SSL to connect to their repositories.
9. Change the Repository Root value if you want to store the repository on your server in a different location. The repository root is the top-level directory under which all source code repositories reside.
10. Select the Requires Approval check box if you want an administrator to approve all repositories created on the server. By default, unmanaged servers require approval for all repositories, because repositories must be created and integrated manually.
    Note: By default, repositories created (or deleted) by site administrators and users with site wide role (with Integrations - SCM INTEGRATIONS permission) need no approval.
11. Supply the URL by which your users will access the service. This will be of the form http://<myscmserver.com>/integration/viewvc/viewvc.cgi
    Important: If your system administrator has upgraded your site from SourceForge Enterprise Edition 4.4 or earlier, remove the port number in the SCM Viewer URL.
    Tip: If you are working with a CVS server that uses Pserver authentication, ask your system administrator for the right URL.
12. The Use Internal Code Browser option is selected by default to allow the users to access the TeamForge code browser for a Subversion or Git server. For more information about this feature, see Get the code.
    Important:

    • Software requirements for using TeamForge code browser, if Subversion or Git is running on a separate server: Subversion Edge 5.1.0 and TeamForge - Git integration 8.4.4 and later.
    • You need to specify the SCM Viewer URL (Step 11), the way you would for ViewVC or Gitweb. The 'http://' or 'https://', the host name and the port number (if any) need to be set correctly. As a minimum requirement, the URL should point to the root of the SCM http server and the domain name.
    • If the SCM server is not the same as the TeamForge server, make sure you install SSL certificates or visit the URL for the site directly from your browser, and import and trust the certificate into the browser.
13. Click Save. CollabNet TeamForge attempts to validate the SCM viewer URL. If it cannot validate the URL, you can:
    • Correct it if you have entered it incorrectly.
    • Select Save with errors if the URL is different for an end user than it is for the CollabNet TeamForge server; for example, if you have a firewall in place.
