SSPI will work in that situation, it was designed to.  However, SSPI was
also meant for integrated logins--so I don't know if it would meet your
"don't want a user acct per person" requirement.  Perhaps someone else can
help out there.

Here's how to get SSPI working:

--Make sure SSPI works locally to the server first (seen this topic plenty
of times before).

--Open a port on the incoming firewall to the server so that the CVS port
(2401) is allowed to the CVSNT server.  This is firewall-dependent.

--The users will need to use :sspi:username at server:/repos to connect (and do
a "cvs login" to set up the password)--the username is required when going
through firewalls, from what I've read.

The thing is, the computer hosting CVSNT is behind a firewall and all of the
developers developing on the CVS are offsite or behind a seperate firewall.
The other thing is, I dont know how to configure it for sspi.  I mean, will
sspi work with WinCVS and TortoiseCVS clients?  Most of the developers use
those two clients, others use other clients ofcourse...

I just want to make the dam thing work.  Will it work with SSPI?  Also, I
dont want to have a windows 2000 user account for each user on the cvs...
well if it works ill go for it, but i had bad experience with windows 2000
accounts management....
