The protocols available to connect to a collaboration server are:
SVN
SVN over HTTP
SVN over HTTPS
SVN over SSH
SVN via a custom tunnel
The Collaboration Server definition group box makes it possible to enter the parameters of the Third Party Server after the protocol selected in Protocol. The Test button helps check the connection. When the parameters specified to connect to the server are inaccurate, an error message is displayed. When the accessed server is in SSH or in tunnel, the message is in the language of the server installation.
Information: A click on the Restore Defaults button sets the Collaboration Server section with the SVN parameters commonly used. Neotys Team Server is the default collaboration server.
