Associating a Context to an Adapter

Site or Organization Administrators must associate a context for each adapter listed in the Adapters Administration utility. This allows users the ability to modify the context associations to their integrated SCM adapter.

This procedure explains how to associate one or more contexts to a Subversion adapter.
