using EA/cvs with password for the cvs-repository?

[matthias]

How can I use EA / cvs with a password for the cvs repository ??

From the Project | Version Control submenu, I select "Set Version Control Options". Here I select the type button "cvs". I complete all fields (id, path etc.) and try "save".

I get an error message:
Error while initializing Version Control provider.
CVS reports the folllowing error:
cvs.exe: authorization failed, server rejected access for user...
cvs. exe: used empty password, try "cvs login" with a real password.

How can I tell EA the cvs - password ?

Hello Matthias,

Before using Version Control in EA, please try to
login to the CVS server by WinCVS or other CVS tools.

After you login and make .cvspass file in your local machine,
EA automatically checks the file and you can use
Version Control in EA.

Hope this helps.

Dear t-kouno,

thank you for your answer - now it works.

Important point: WinCVS 1.3 seems NOT to create the .cvspass file, at least at my machine.
I used an another cvs tool for login to the CVS server and got the file in this way.
