I see. Does it speed up the communication? Since technically it logs in
every time automatically using the SSPI procedures and all.

No, I checked that my password might have expired but it had not. Another
thing tell us for sure that it's not the password is by switching to version
1.3b13-2 (or whatever is beta 13.2) of WinCVS makes it work again still
using SSPI. That wouldn't have any effect if my password or account had
expired / was disabled.
Since this part of the original post isn't here, I'll just reiterate the
situation a bit for other readers:
WinCVS 1.3b16, b17, b17.2 used to work using SSPI then stop suddenly
WinCVS 1.3b13.2 continues to work using the exact same settings
I have tried to use the option Admin->Login and I get exactly the same
message:
"Can't authenticate - perhaps you need to login first?"
I should mention also that I have had my password expire on the server and
you do get a failed SSPI authentication but it's a different message. It's
something about authentication failed or login failed or something. But not
this message.
Strange stuff. Hope someone has some ideas. Thanks for the ideas Tony.
Thanks,
Michael
