Perforce Authentication

Perforce repositories reside on an enterprise Perforce server. The Code Insight Perforce connector supports the following types of authentication to access a repository on the Perforce server and synchronize it with Code Insight:

  • Perforce authentication—An authenticated TCP or SSL protocol is supported for communication between the Code Insight connector and the Perforce server.

    • Note that the Code Insight Perforce connector supports access to repositories that reside only on a Perforce server configured with Security Level 1, 2, or 3. The connector does not support access to repositories on a Perforce server configured with Security Level 0, in which users are created without passwords.

  • LDAP authentication—The Code Insight Perforce connector supports LDAP authentication on the Perforce server. If Perforce is configured with LDAP, the Perforce SCM instance set up in Code Insight must include the LDAP credentials to access the repository.
