Assumptions:

• We have IIS hosted on a server with static IP and internet access (:|)
• We own a public domain name (:|) which is to be mapped (:|)
• IIS version 5.1 and above

For demo, I am assuming following values

• server IP address : 222.222.222.222
• public domain name to be mapped: map.jyotsna.com

Please note that these values are for demostration purpose only. I, in no way, own these.

To do:

1. Add and ‘A’ record to your DNS settings with value = IP of server. So my “A” record for jyotsna.com has value = 222.222.222.222
2. Create a web site in IIS – is needed. For demostration, I am going to use “Default Web Site”
3. Right click the concerned web site -> properties. In the “Web Site” tab, click on “Advanced” button.

   

4. In “Multiple identities for this Web Site” section, click “Add” button.

   

5. You now need to mention three values
   
• IP Address – this is IP address of the server. In my case it will be 222.222.222.222
• TCP port – I want this website to be available on map.jyotsna.com irrespective of the actual IIS port assigned to “Default web site”. Hence I am going to specify 80. If I wanted the site to be available on map.jyotsna.com:666, I would have specified 666 as this value.
• Host Header Name – map.jyotsna.com
6. Click on OK/ Apply to close all windows. There is NO NEED to restart IIS to reflect the changes.

Assumptions:
- Tortoise SVN as SVN client
- The two SVN repositories – being copied from and being copied to already exist

Steps:
1. Right click SVN bound directory that you with to copy. Choose tortoise SVN -> Export.
2. Specify path to an empty folder e.g. “c:\to_add”. Click on OK.
3. Now you have the SVN bound directory contents in this new directory “to_add”.
4. Right click on “to_add” and choose tortoise svn -> add
5. Specify path to the new repository and location inside it.
6. Right click on “to_add” and choose SVN Commit to make your changes permanent.

Voila !! You are done.

Who is this post for?
This post is for anyone who wants SVN client and server to forget currently configured password

Steps to follow

1. Know your repository URL
   For this you should be using tortoise SVN repo-browser and check out the URL. In my case, it looks like

   svn+ssh://jyotsnas@visharad/svnRepos/travel_broker

   This tells me following

   • linux username being used is jyotsnas
   • the svn server is named as visharad
   • Probably all SVN repositories are located under /var/svnRepos
2. Now that we know the servername, in this case ‘visharad’, open putty. Under saved sessions list, you should find your server name. Refer to following screenshot for the same
   
   
   
   

   visharad in saved sessions of putty

3. Click on Load button so that we can find out more. Putty looks like following when I clicked Load
   
   
   
   

   visharad session loaded in putty

   Looking at this I have more concrete information about server i.e. Host name/IP : 192.168.1.50

4. Let’s move to the SSH->Auth in left tree structure –
   
   
   
   

   visharad ssh auth settings in putty

   This screen tells me a path to a private key file on my machine.

   F:\Jyotsna\SVN sessions\visharad.ppk

   Delete this path from the text box.

5. Go back to sessions in left tree and click on save.

   When you delete this path, putty is going to forget the password to be used. Since tortoise SVN uses putty in turn to connect to server, it will forget it too. And that is it.

Questions you might have

1. Why should I not delete the session instead of the private key file path?
   
   

   In cases like mine, visharad name was given to a machine with IP 192.168.1.50. If I had deleted the session, I would have have to relocate all the SVN repositories already checked out on my machine so that the new URL contains 192.168.1.50 instead of visharad. Not deleting the session saves this hassel of mine and still make tortoise svn not use the remembered password.

2. How can I make tortoise SVN remember a new password?

   Just refer to this link for the instructions
