greetings svnkit users, i am a part of a fairly large team that just started using a CAC protected TeamForge site and i am trying to determine the best way for our developers to access the site. for the most part, we all use Eclipse which situates us perfectly to take advantage of the CollabNet Desktop plugin. however, a large majority of our developers are also linux (or mac) users, and it seems that since the native svn command line in linux OS flavors and Mac OSX is not CAC-enabled, the Desktop can't authenticate for subversion interaction. it is my understanding that Windows version of svn *is* CAC-enabled, which gives that subset of developers an easy road ahead.
from what i can tell, it would be possible to get this setup working on the mac/linux side by substituting a SVNKit that is CAC-enabled for the JavaHL libraries ... and in fact, there seems to be a fork'd version of SVNKit out there called SVNKit-CAC. a lot of us are currently using a Java command line tool called jsvn-cac that uses the svnkit jars. i was wondering if there is any plan, thoughts or previous discussion about getting that CAC auth code into the main SVNKit build. i am assuming that this would allow us to use the Eclipse Marketplace to install CollabNet Desktop and SVNKit (CAC-enabled) to then get full Desktop functionality on our macs and linux boxes. thanks for reading, looking forward to any discussion this may bring b p.s. other solutions also welcome!
