How to adjust CVS username

[bolino]

Hi,

how is it possible to adjust the username of CVS version control setting.
EA should get the CVS-username out of the CVS-root file, unfortunately it doesn't but uses my windows-logging account, which isn't the same. So how can I adjust this?
Searching the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EA400\EA\OPTIONS
I adjusted the username in "VCConfigs" but EA still shows the wrong name.
Any ideas?

I am working with EA v6.5.799

Thanks in adavance

What a pitty there are no 'active' users/moderators here that answer stupid questions from newbies.  

I finally found the answer after reading the white paper, i'll place it here for future newbies:

UserName & Password
When EA issues commands to CVS, it does not supply any username. When you set
up CVS, the step where you checkout a CVS module and create your local working
copy, should create a subdirectory in your working copy, named "CVS". This
subdirectory will contain a file named "Root" which contains your CVS userID and
connection method. EA reads this file "Root" and extracts from it, your CVS userID.
(If EA does not find the file "Root", it retrieves the Windows userID, but this is NOT
the correct ID unless you are using a local repository.) EA uses the userID it finds, to
determine whether or not it is you that has an EA package file checked out. You will
not be able to modify packages in EA, unless EA has retrieved your correct CVS
userID.

Very public spirited !

There are several 'active' users who must have had their attention distracted on 6th Dec last year (original post date) ...

More or less (unfortunately there's sometimes the need to earn money ). But why the 6th?

I find I have the same problem. But the thing is that there is a CVS directory in my CVS workspace path and a Root file where the correct username is. However, EA still chooses my Windows user ID (?)

What to do??

TIA
