A couple of things. First, what version are you using? I found 2.0.58 requires you to have permissions on any directories above your cvs directories. So if you have your repositories in d:\cvs\my-root, you need permissions for both d:\cvs and my-root. This is a change from 2.0.41. Next, make sure you're not putting a user name in the SSPI call; it should use your login name. Posting the exact call you make would be helpful.

I have installed CVSNT on a Windows 2000 machine which is acting as the server and have tried to connect to that server using WinCVS from my local machine. I constantly get the error: "Authentication protocol rejected access". I have set up CVSNT as per the online instructions *exactly* as they say to do. On the server I can even get it to display the directory listings by using 'cvs ls -l -R' but when I try to do the same from my local machine --> Server i get the authentication error. > > Given that I have followed this guide: > > http://web.telia.com/~u86216121/InstallCVSNT.html#InstallSteps > > to the letter, and have tried multiple options , I still can't get this to work.I'm using SSPI because we're all logged on to the same windows network and I can sucessfully use the network to view the contents of the server using widows explorer and am never asked for a password. The only thing I can maybe see a problem with is the fact that the server is on a different domain than the rest of the users. But even putting my domain name before my username in the Admin section of WinCVS doesn't make a difference. There's no firewall software in operation that I know of. I'm using Windows XP pro SP2 and the server is running Win 2000 (I presume with all the latest patches). > > Can anyone shed some light on how to get these two systems to sucessfully talk to each other.
