Editor doesn't seamlessly work with P4 level 3 security

I’m using Level 3 security (ticket based) on my server.

Every time I boot up editor, it tells me I’m connected to source control. However that’s not case. If I try to manually connect by going into Editor settings source control, it’s unable to connect. I have to manually open P4V, enter my password (and get a new ticket) and then only will editor connect.

Ideally editor would be able to handle Level 3, ticket based security without having to go into P4V first to connect.

We use ticket based security here as well and do not have any problems. Could you provide some log files generated by editor so we can determine if any source control errors are being written. logs are in your project directory under Saved/Logs

Matt, thank you for reply. I think this is actually an issue on my end…my p4 config environment variable has password set for server (so it should be ok to autoconnect). But that isn’t working right now. Will try some things and report back.

Hi Matt,

Are you guys using non-expiring tickets at Epic? server I’m using has expiring tickets after 12 hours.

John

Our tickets are set to too high a value of hours to ever practically expire. So basically, no, they don’t expire.

Ah, gotcha, thanks for reply . That’s it then. It would be ideal if Editor could refresh a ticket via password reentry. Guessing that is not very high on priority list though.
