[cvsnt] SSPI and Temp Dir

Fri Jan 10 14:22:10 GMT 2003

SSPI has two modes of operation:
   :sspi:server:/repository
and
   :sspi:user at server:/repository

The first one uses your logon data from the workstation you are logged on to.
The second one uses the cvs login procedure (only the first time you connect
using this cvsroot string)

So in your case the only thing you would have had to do was to issue the
cvs login command and enter the password for the user specified in the root.
After this all would have worked transparently...

This is just an FYI.

I figured out what my 'can't create temporary directory' error was coming
from finally.  When using the SSPI protocol, if you specify an invalid user
name in your cvsroot, it will report that dumb temporary directory error.

Now here's something really odd.  If I specify a correct user name there, it
will give me an Authentication failed error.  It wasn't until I removed the
user name completely, that I was able to login using sspi. In other words, I
have to use :sspi:server:/repo instead of :sspi:user at server:/repo.

Also, if you change your user name in Windows XP using the control panel
version instead of the User database within your computer management in
administrative tools, it will not actually change the real user name at all.
It actually changes just the Full Name of the user account.  This is why I
was using the wrong user name in CVS.

Thought I would throw this out there in case anyone else ever ran into it.
