Hi all; I am a newbie setting up a CVSNT system, with WINCVS, for a small number of developers, using SSPI, in a full windows network (2003 server/domain-controller, xp workstations/clients) At the moment I am controlling access to the repository using windows domain username and password authentication (i.e. my cvs client will grab the domain username of the windows user currently logged in at the workstation and will embed that in the CVSROOT connection string). For instance, on the windows clients I have set my CVSROOT environment variable to this: :sspi:cvserver:/project (project is the main repository I am using) And when a workstation user (say joe) types in the "cvs login" command his connection to the CVS server is established with the following settings: :sspi:joe at cvserver:/project This is great BUT THEN I still get prompted for my domain password on each CVS login attempt. What I would really like is to surpress this password prompt some way (so a user doesn't get asked to put their domain password in each time they want to login to a CVS repository). Ideally I would like the CVS client to supply this domain password 'automatically' like the CVS client supplies the domain username 'automatically' during the login process (without having to explicitly state it). In short, I just want to be able to connect to a CVS server and have my domain username and password supplied automatically for a cvs login transaction... I have only just started on this project, so if need be, I would be open to changing CVS clients or otherwise if it is going to help me achieve this objective. Thanks for any help!
