Ok, I think I figured out my problem and so will post the solution for posterity: The Windows client was not providing my user logon information to WinCVS correctly and so it could not provide it to the CVSNT server correctly. I had to go perform the following steps, which I found here: http://www.theeldergeek.com/save_passwords_in_outlook.htm Remove User Account Information a.. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK. b.. Navigate to and select: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Protected Storage System Provider c.. Right click Protected Storage System Provider and select Permissions d.. Click the user name for the user that is currently logged on and ensure that Read and Full Control permissions are both set to Allow. e.. Click Advanced button, select the Permissions tab. f.. Ensure that the currently logged on user is highlighted, that Full Control is listed in the Permissions column, and that This Key and Subkeys is listed in the Apply To column. g.. Ensure that Replace Permission Entries on all Child Objects with Entries Shown Here that Apply to Child Objects has a checkmark in the box. h.. Click Apply then click Yes in the Security dialogue box shown below. a.. Click OK, then click OK again to return to Registry Editor. b.. Expand the Protected Storage System Provider key by double clicking or using the plus (+) sign. c.. Right click the user sub-key folder directly below the Protected Storage System Provider key. a.. Click Delete and then click Yes in the Confirm Key Delete dialog box that appears. a.. Close Registry Editor and reboot the computer Then it all worked like magic.
