I was able to get things running on my server. I uninstalled, cleaned out the registry settings, then installed again. I didn't pursue the domain users again due to the constant discouragement from people smarter than me. Before I wasn't able to get *any* (even non-domain) users to work with pserver. Now I can. One thing I noticed after re-installing is that the default domain setting (in server settings) is set to blank by default. With my first install, I'd set it to the domain all the users were coming from. Blank is probably the value I want (especially if I'm not using domain users). However, in the settings dialog there is no way to choose a blank value once it's been set to something else. If blank is really an option (the one that works, no less!), then it ought to be available all the time. I haven't tried changing the default domain to something to prove that it was the cause of my problems because I can't change it back afterwards. ..David.. -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org] On Behalf Of Bo Berglund Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2006 9:27 AM To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: Re: [cvsnt] pserver authorization problems On Sat, 7 Jan 2006 08:26:29 -0700, "David Jackman" <David.Jackman at fastsearch.com> wrote: >I started playing around with the CVSNT server settings and found that >if I change the "Run as user" setting from "(client user)" to a named >user account on that server machine (doesn't seem to matter which user >I use), then pserver works for all users. I would not do this at all, because it limits the ability for you to sett access priviliges inside the repository using the NTFS file permissions for users and groups. For pserver this might be OK but for SSPI it is definitely not and the setting is server global! When you use pserver (or better sserver) you should really alias all cvs logins to some special account. This way the users do not need to expose their domain passwords to the insecure pserver transfer mechanism at all. Their CVS login is then valid ONLY for CVS and it is a much more secure system.
