1.1 requires setting a Perforce password breaking Perforce setup for external
authentication
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SCM-415
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-415
Project: Maven SCM
Issue Type: Bug
Components: maven-scm-provider-perforce
Affects Versions: 1.1
Reporter: ajbanck
Priority: Blocker
checkin r654744 for SCM-363 introduces a requirement to set a Perforce
password.
This will break the SCM provider when Perforce is configured to not accept a
password. This will be the case when using the OS security instead of
Perforce' own.
The SCM pluging throws an exception when not providing a password, Perforce
throws an error when trying to login with a (dummy) password.
When no username and/or password is provided, the Perforce login step should be
skipped.
=========
Perforce login output when running p4 from the command prompt:
p4 login
'login' not necessary, no password set for this user.
p4 login john
You don't have permission for this operation.
=========
Offending code:
PerforceLoginCommand.java
if ( StringUtils.isEmpty( repo.getPassword() ) )
{
throw new ScmException( "password is required for the perforce
scm plugin." );
}
