The buildbot polls the savannah pspp git repository and starts a build after a commit and there is a nightly build for some targets. So as you say for the normal operation there are no push buttons required. >> I also think of the underlying server.

I have a buildbot prototype for pspp here: http://caeis.etech.fh-augsburg.de:8010 The webinterface is currently open without any authentication. So you can for example trigger a build. My idea is that project members of the savannah project can authenticate at this server such that I can restrict the access. I also think of the underlying server. It would be nice if I could give login access to the project members via authentication at savannah. Anyway it is a small project so this can be done manually also. Friedrich

This sounds like SSO single-sign-on service to me. There is not currently any support for a SSO with Savannah. That does not mean that one could not be created. The question has not been asked before and no one has created the infrastructure for it otherwise. But how is this related to setting up a continuous integration server? > Currently I am looking at buildbot. They have something to > authenticate against github or gitlab or plain user/password.

Is it possible to authenticate with savannah, e.g. with ldap?
Hi everybody, I am member of the https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/pspp project. I am currently investigating how to run a continuous integration server for building the pspp software. One part of that is to allow the pspp project members to modify and control the build server, e.g. to trigger a new build. Is it possible to authenticate users via some savannah infrastructure? Is there for example an ldap server which I could contact from the build server? Currently I am looking at buildbot. They have something to authenticate against github or gitlab or plain user/password. I would prefer to use the user/password from savannah. Regards Friedrich
