Create a Repository Location

To create a new repository location:

1.

You can bring up the New Repository Location wizard in one of several ways: From the workbench window:

  • Click the Open The New Wizard button on the toolbar; then in the left pane, select CVS, and in the right pane, select Repository Location. Then click Next.
  • Select the File > New > Other menu item; in the left pane of the page, select CVS; in the right pane of the page select Repository Location; click on the "Next" button of the wizard.
  • In the Repositories view, bring up the context menu; select the  New > Repository Location menu item.

Note:  A CVS server must already be configured on the host machine to create a valid repository location in the workbench.

2.

From the Connection Type dropdown menu, select the authentication protocol of the CVS server. 

3.

In the User Name field, type the user name under which you want to connect to the repository.

4.

In the Host Name field, type the address of the host (e.g., "mymachine.com").

5.

In the Repository Path field, type the path to the repository on the host (e.g., "/home/repo, d:/repo").

6.

The CVS Location field automatically updates with the connection information from the other fields in the dialog. You do not need to type anything else in this field.

7.

Select the "Validate location on finish" if you want to authenticate the specified user to the specified host upon completion of the wizard.  

De-select this option if you want to authenticate later, when you want to access the contents of the repository. 

8.

Click the " Finish" button on the wizard to create the repository location.

9.

If you selected the option to validate on completion, you are prompted for a password to authenticate to the host.  In the password field, type the specified user's password for the host, then click the "OK" button.
