Does WANdisco require any changes to SCM clients or servers?

Ans. No. No. WANdisco doesn’t require any changes to SCM client configurations and it doesn’t touch the SCM server file system. WANdisco is effectively a transparent network proxy between the client and each site’s local Subversion or CVS server. WANdisco can be installed on the same server as Subversion, the Apache web server used to front-end Subversion, or the CVS server. Developers won’t even notice that WANdisco has been implemented. Clients still connect using the same ports they always have. The only difference is that they are actually connecting to WANdisco’s proxy (replicator) instead of directly to their Subversion or CVS server. In the case of CVS, clients still connect using standard pServer port 2401 or SSH. For Subversion standalone, port 3690 is used. For Subversion with Apache port 80 is used for HTTP, or port 443 for HTTPS. If ports other than these defaults are used, they can still be used after WANdisco is implemented.
