Welcome to the Kiln Knowledge Exchange

Question

1

We are on a Active Directory environment. I'm logged (as Domain Administrator) into the server which runs both Kiln & SVN.

After login I run Import tool and gave my Kiln crediantials (my personal domain user account not Administrator account see: link text) after that Kiln asks target server to get files . Wrote SVN path of target repository.

At this point, Import tool automatically tries to login to SVN system with logged in windows user account (Administrator account in our case) and fails to retrieve type of target source control server's type. (Administrator account not authorized on SVN)

"[Fri Feb 05 18:14:12 2010] [error] [client 192.168.0.9] Access denied: 'ERKYAZILIM\Administrator' OPTIONS Online-Islemler:/"

And Import tool decides itself "it must be Mercurial", and asks for Mercurial login info which cannot be used with SVN. (see: link text)

In my opinion, Import tool should ask target server type & login info instead of trying to determine it itself.

When using the http:// protocol, can you follow the instructions at kiln.stackexchange.com/questions/543/… to get a log file? I'd like to see the failure, and try to get it fixed. – Rock Hymas♦ Feb 5 2010 at 18:02

What is that "kiln:" thing? Do you mean "KilnImporter.exe" ? – Atakan Eser Feb 5 2010 at 18:29

Nope, kiln: is a protocol handler, similar to http: – Rock Hymas♦ Feb 5 2010 at 18:58

When you install the Kiln importer, it registers the "kiln:" protocol to allow Kiln to give you hyperlinks that directly invoke the importer with the right settings, rather than forcing you to download the importer each time. – Benjamin Pollack♦ Feb 5 2010 at 18:59

Ok I get it. It seems kiln: handler not registered on our w2008 R2 server. So kiln:import?log=true not works. – Atakan Eser Feb 5 2010 at 20:09

Just to close the loop, we've figured out why the importer wasn't recognizing Subversion, and the fix for this is in the final 1.0 release of Kiln (1.0.52 licensed version).

The tool only guesses when it sees http:// in the start of the path. If you use svn:// instead, does it log in properly?

in my case "svn://" not works. We're using SVN over Apache with SSL – Atakan Eser Feb 5 2010 at 18:32

Import tool cant determine the type of version control system if logged in user not have a permission on target server
