Access Trac with certificate login from Eclipse using Mylyn's Trac connector

Just a quick scratch about how to access your Trac from Eclipse IDE by authenticating with certificates

1. Make sure the root certificate is found by JVM as a trusted certificate if you have your own. Open this link and check the subject: “When I try to add my site to the task repositories, I get a Java error that says SSL Handshake failed. What do I do?”

2. Add the following lines to eclipse.ini -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=/path/to/yourcert.p12 -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=yourpassword -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=PKCS12

3. Setup Eclipse Mylyn plugin with the Trac connector.

• Install Mylyn plugin
• Add your Trac to the Task Repository view
  • Remember to use anonymous authentication, since you're using certs to login
  This is just quickly thrown together, please ask if I neglected some important details. I can try to fill in the gaps later on if necessary.
