7 Setup Secure Access to CVS

It is customary to use the CVS_RSH environment variable to specify the remote shell to use in lieu of pserver authentication. The CVS_RSH environment variable can specify for example SSH as the remote shell and can directly use the encryption feature of SSH.

WANdisco Security Agent doesn't restrict you in any way when you choose to use a CVS_RSH based remote shell. Just follow the setup directions below to get SSH, Kerberos etc support going for your CVS clients.

7.1 Using SSH with WANdisco Security Agent

There are two ways do this. You can directly have the CVS client connect with the SSH daemon (Direct SSH Method) or you can tunnel the CVS pserver protocol over SSH (SSH Tunneling Method).
