Hi Peter, Bo and P.Vinod, I want to thank you all for clarifying the situation for me, and for doing it so promptly - my little hitch is solved! You were right on the money when you we telling me not to use the 'cvs login' command. I left my CVSROOT environment variable as :sspi:cvserver:/projects, just opened up a command prompt and began issuing commands to my CVS server, and they all worked fine! (without a single password prompt in sight!) Once again, I appreciate the help; Brad. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Crowther [mailto:Peter.Crowther at melandra.com] Sent: Wednesday, 16 February 2005 8:09 PM To: Brad Costa; cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: RE: [cvsnt] Automatic Authentication with windows credentials > From: Brad Costa [mailto:bradcosta at optusnet.com.au] > 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) Looks good. This works, *without* login prompts, on our system, which is Win2K server but otherwise very similar to yours. > 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 If you're using SSPI you don't need to run cvs login - just set the CVSROOT, go for it and everything works. Try it and see whether this is true in your environment. - Peter
