I've pretty much given up on getting access to the testing infrastructure I originally built for ManifoldCF that is now owned by qBase. I was wondering if anyone had time or energy to research what it would take to build such an infrastructure using Amazon cloud servers. Basically, we'd need at least one active directory domain controller instance for each configuration (LM, NTLMv1, NTLMv2 NTLM2 session), and a repository server per domain (or more, depending on whether we can get some of these repositories to coexist with each other). I would start with a SharePoint instance and CIFS share on each such server, and we can grow from there.
What we'll also need is some kind of allocation mechanism so that anybody can run tests anywhere, provided they have internet access, and not collide with *other* people running tests. Any ideas? Karl
