[cvsnt] Re: -x option with sspi

[Mike Wake]

Hi All,

I found a fix that I'll also post to the tortoise list.
The code below shows how the -x option is added to CVS actions and how 
it can be disabled within the Tortoise client if you are using a linux 
server with winbind and the SSPI protocol.

Just add a DWORD registry entry for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TortoiseCVS\Data Encrption and set it to 0.


Looking at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/tortoisecvs/TortoiseCVS/src/CVSGlue/CVSAction.cpp?rev=1.174&view=auto

     if ((((myCVSRootHolder.GetProtocol() == "sspi") &&
            WindowsPlatformIsNT()) ||
          (myCVSRootHolder.GetProtocol() == "gserver")) &&
         TortoiseRegistry::ReadBoolean("Data Encryption", true))
     {
         args.add_global_option("-x");
     }

Cheers Mikew
