Final procedure for perforce integration?

[Neel.]

Hello,

I have been setting my ticket (p4 login -a -p) as password EVERY day;
ticket expires after 24 hours in my organization. I wanted to know
have any other way have been finalized other than creating a user that
has non-expiring ticket? I have searched lot about this and there are
few review requests for reviewboard to make it password based or
ticket based without needing user intervention but nothing seemed to
have "shipped it" yet.

Also, reviewboard is in domain and\or user is using his active
directory username in domain\user format, and that same username
\password is valid for perforce, is there a way to reuse that
(possibly using some hooks?)?

Thanks in advance,
-Neel.

Hi Neel,

We really need to land a patch for proper ticket-based auth. The problem is that the existing patches broke existing Perforce accounts, as the tickets were assumed to be used. I need someone with an actual setup to test this and fix up a patch. I'll happily work with them on getting it into a 1.6.x release.

Hi Christian,

What's the procedure? I will need to let organization I work for know that before going forward.

Thanks,

Hi Neel,

The procedure to get it into Review Board? We'd need a patch developed that worked with p4 ticketing but without breaking user/pass access, and it'd need to be uploaded to http://reviews.reviewboard.org/. We can then review it, and once we're satisfied, put it into a release.

Hmmm.. I completely misunderstood - I was under the impression that someone, namely you, were ready to work on change and needed help setup-wise. no matter. I will try to find time. In interest of saving time, do we have ANY kind of code documentation? basically what I am trying to do is to use logged in user's credentials to log in to perforce - I have seen perforce python class but I have no idea of code flow  (sorry if I am sounding lazy - I am:))

Thanks in advance,

-Neel.
