The installer will update the system PATH variable to include the path to the "bin" and "Python25" folders that are installed by the installer and it will also create or update the PYTHONHOME environment variable. The installer will add rules to the Windows Firewall to allow access to the Apache binary and to open up ports 3343 and 4434. The installer will add two Windows services set to start automatically when the system starts. 1. CollabNet Subversion Edge - a Java-based web application that provides a browser UI for configuring and managing your Apache Subversion server. 2. CollabNet Subversion Server - the actual Apache Subversion server that the management console manages for you, and that your Subversion users will access. You must login to the CollabNet Subversion Edge browser-based management console and configure the Apache server before it can be run for the first time. The UI of the management console writes the needed Apache configuration files based on the information you provide. The default administrator login is: Address: http://localhost:3343/csvn Username: admin

Installation and Configuration
Password: admin The installer provides the option to start the application at the end of the install. This will open your browser to a local page that will detect when the server has finished starting. Subversion Edge also starts an SSL-protected version using a self-signed SSL certificate. You can access the SSL version on this URL: Address: https://localhost:4434/csvn You can force users to use SSL from the Server configuration. This will cause attempts to access the site via plain HTTP on port 3343 to be redirected to the secure port on 4434.
