Fields Used to Configure an SCM Perforce Instance
The following settings are used to configure an SCM Perforce instance on Code Insight.
Keep the following in mind as you set up the instance, especially when providing the Username and Password credentials:
| • | The repository identified by the instance must reside on a Perforce server that is configured with Security Level 1, 2, or 3. The Code Insight Perforce connector does not support instances created for a Perforce server configured with Security Level 0, in which users are created without passwords. |
| • | The Code Insight Perforce connector supports LDAP authentication on Perforce. If Perforce is configured with LDAP, you must provide the appropriate LDAP credentials for the Username and Password fields to access the Perforce repository identified by the instance. |
