Committer resources

This is information for developers who are newly receiving commit access.

Enrollment

• Athena account: MITKC staff will sponsor as appropriate. See http://web.mit.edu/accounts/www/getaccount.html for some overview information about Athena accounts.
• X.509 client certificate: Needed for RT access, among others. Information on how to obtain one is at http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/certificates/index.html
• RT account
• Git access
• Daptiv access (for some contributors working on time-sensitive projects)
• Posting authorization to cvs-krb5 if you are going to commit stuff.

Where stuff is at

• Git URL git+ssh://git.mit.edu/git/krb5.git -- you may need to create a ssh configuration entry (~/.ssh/config) for Host git.mit.edu with a User directive if your local username is not the same as your Athena account name. Kerberos-authenticated SSH is best, if you can get it to work.
• SSH to athena.dialup.mit.edu if you want easy access to AFS, a UNIX shell, etc.
• RT https://krbdev.mit.edu/rt/ (or https://krbdev.mit.edu:444/rt/ if your browser doesn't deal with "optional" SSL client certificate verification)
