Administering the Expertiza Application

From WolfWikis

Connecting to the Expertiza Server

1. Connect to the Expertiza server, pg-server.csc.ncsu.edu using Putty* and your Unity account
2. Issue the command “sudo su” and provide your Unity password to access the super-user mode

Adding users to e-mail notifications

1. Connect to the Expertiza Server
2. Navigate to /var/www/svn/pg/hooks
3. Edit post-commit: vi post-commit
4. Add the users’ e-mail addresses to the TO= line.

Granting a user access to the repository

1. Use the htpasswd command to add each user to the authorization file:

    %> htpasswd –mb /etc/httpd/svn/dav_svn.passwd <username> <password>

2. Modify the file /etc/httpd/svn/dav_svn.authz (vi /etc/httpd/svn/dav_svn.authz)

   Append the usernames added in step 1 to the pg_developers list. Each username should be separated by a comma.

   Any users with read-only access should be included in the pg_contributors group instead.

Removing a user from the repository access list

1. Use the htpasswd command to delete each user from the authorization file:

    %> htpasswd –D /etc/httpd/svn/dav_svn.passwd <username>

* Install Putty from http://www.eos.ncsu.edu/remoteaccess/putty.html
