As Dries pointed out the manual (sections especially remote repositories & sspi) is the best place to begin. If you have specific questions after reading this then ask again but be more specific in your questions. > 2) We are also looking for a guide that would explain in > detail about the > Migration steps from CVS to CVSNT.

Well actually there are quite a few steps you can do, but since at this point I believe you are evaluating then this will do the job. Note: when CVSNT opens a CVS repository it will migrate it and that is a 'one way' operation so it is best performed on a 'copy' of the CVS repository while you are evaluating. > 3) Please provide us the changes/modifications needed for the > current set > up > to authenticate against Active directory/LDAP using CVSNT. Since #2 above you say that you have not installed CVSNT then there is nothing to modify. Install CVSNT first then try it. As I've pointed out on the 'nongnu CVS' mailing list, there are two approaches - either 'real' SSPI or hooking up pserver and AD using LDAP/PAM. This page will help in the configuring of LDAP/PAM but setting up SSPI is a little bit more difficult (this doco is a bit old and very linux specific, but just ignore the bits not about PAM): http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/InstallationLinux Information about setting up winbind/SSPI on Linux/Unix/Solaris is very thin on the ground (it's all in the commercial manual, but in the open source version you are limited to the 'free' documentation that other users have submitted), but once you've got the above working and installed we can come back to that.
