Perforce Tickets Issues

scmuser created the topic: Perforce tickets issues
Some of the devs on my team have been asking about whether Perforce tickets really need to be bound to IPs. It’s pretty annoying to have to re-authenticate when switching from wireless to wired. When we first switched to OTP, I don’t recall it working this way, but perhaps I’m misremembering… Was this a change that was made later or has it always been this way since OTP went into use?

rajeshkumar replied the topic: Re: Perforce tickets issues
Not sure if you have got solution for your problem or not. If not, please use –a while login which will obtain ticket that is valid for all IP address and host till 24 hours.

Such as…

p4 login –a

Perforce client version numbers v99999

rajeshkumar created the topic: Perforce client version numbers v99999
The mystery v99999 is an artifact of how older releases of the p4 command line client set the protocol level. In the code, it looked something like this:

client.SetProtocol( “api”, “99999” );

In the absence of better version information, the server logs the API protocol level, or if that’s not set, the client protocol level. Since 2004.2 p4 always sets the API level to 99999, so it’s a version of p4 that was built after that, but before they introduced an explicit version string (2005.2). So basically if you see v99999 it’s either a 2004.2, or 2005.1 p4.

To know Password last changed for this perforce user

rajeshkumar created the topic: To know Password last changed for this perforce user
I have come across 2 ways..

1/. User form field will have following options…
PasswordChange: Read-only

The date and time of the user’s last password change. If the user has no password, this field is blank.

OR
p4 -p IP:PORT -u users -l | grep
