Couple of 'noob' questions

Post by GregK » Mon Feb 14, 2005 12:06 pm

HI,

I am currently looking at Vault for a CVS solution for my institute (educational). There are a couple of questions that I am having and I have a hard time finding answers:
  1. Is there a GUI Linux client?
  2. Does AD integration work now?
  3. Can users administer groups?
Let me elaborate on 3:
For many of the classes that students here take, we need to create teams to work on projects, hence the reason for looking into source code management. We would like to allow users -the students- to create a new group for their new project and add their teammates themselves. Since there is only one full-time administrator here, and ~100 students, it would be quite time consuming to create groups manually for the admin everytime that they are needed.

thanks for all the help,

Greg

1. No, but we're investigating ways to bring a GUI to linux. For now, the command line client is the only option for non-windows platforms.
2. Yes, for the specifics on the restrictions/caveats look at http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?p=6879#6879
3. No, we don't have anything like that yet. You could use the Vault Admin API to create web pages to add/edit users and groups. We did this to enable users to add themselves to vaultdemo. http://vaultdemo.sourcegear.com/AddDemo ... oUser.aspx
Because Vault is built on Web Services, everything that the Vault Admin tool can do, you can use the API to accomplish. If you have specific questions on how to accomplish this, feel free to ask.
