Thanks for the advice Bo. I did read most of the posts you mentioned here. As a payback :-) I could tell you how sspi seem to really work as long as you confine yourself to the command line interface. Here is what I did to make this work: 1. On the server side, I did not do anything since changing the config/SystemAuth=no flag does not have anything to do with the sspi protocol (that is my conclusion only, I did not see that written anywhere). 2. On the client side I simply set the CVSROOT environment variable: CVSROOT=:sspi:server_id\user_id at domain_id:c:\CVS_ROOT This seems simple, if you want to use the domain server for the authentication, since you do not do deal with any password files at all. I do have a problem trying to use jCVS as the graphical front end, since it seemingly supports only the "pserver" mode, so it might expect some password file which I did not (intentionally) defined. I would appreciate if anyone can explain a bit more about "sspi" protocol, though.

We use ntserver authentication in all of these, basically because sspi was not available at the time we installed everything. But I hear that sspi is really the protocol to use instead of ntserver now.
