Re: Secure Web-Access to VSS



No,

The Web_Service parameter in srcsafe.ini is used only when a new user
connects to the database (to discover the name of the server for Internet
access and optionally the port)
The type of the connection to that server (http vs https) is determined
based on the client's settings in VisualStudio
(Tools/Options/SourceControl/Plug-inSettings/Advanced).
If the client settings are set to always use SSL, https connection will be
tried directly (and you'll have the options of connecting with different VSS
user names).
If client settings are set so SSL connections are not always used, VS will
attempt http connection, will discover that https is required by the server
side, and will switch to using https. In this case you won't have the option
of connecting with a VSS username different from your Windows logon account
name.

Hi
I experience the same problem as Brian
([url]http://www.codecomments.com/archive356-2005-11-673676.html[/url])


SLL enabled on IIS site with ID == 1, Option "require SSL" selected in
virtual directory properties, certificate issued by Enterprise CA
trusted by server (with VSS and IIS installed) and all client
workstations (they reside in the same AD domain with CA), but I can't
select checkbox in SSAdmin/Server/Configure.
Clients CAN access VSS database via HTTPS, but Web_Service parameter in
srcsafe.ini on the server targeted to URL with HTTP (and not HTTPS).

Can it cause any problems in the future?

Regards, Sergey
