Basic setup
The perforce server has the address
ssl:perforce.compute.dtu.dk:1666
Authentication happens using the portalen username and password. Access to this server is administrated by Henning Christensen who can be reached at the email address at hench at dtu.dk.
Upon initial connenction you are asked to approve the fingerprint of the perforce server. The fingerprint should be
#F6:7A:7A:9C:15:33:CE:16:DB:EA:6E:A9:24:05:FB:E8:63:B7:0D:2A
If another fingerprint is displayed, you are connecting to the wrong server - contact IT support.
