[cvsnt] Setting up cvsnt server - client connection problem

[James Wilkinson]

Hi Tomas,

With the SSPI authentication, you need a Username for the server to understand who it is authenticating.

My CVSROOT looks like:

 :sspi:james at cvsserver:/Development

and this works well.

Regards,
James

Subject: [cvsnt] Setting up cvsnt server - client connection problem


Hello,

i got some difficulties running cvsnt server on Win2000/XP. I've installed
2.0.11 (later 2.1.1) on my system according to InstallationTips, but for
some reason the connection from client is not as painless as i've expected.
I've only succeeded to establish communication via 'ntserver' and 'local'
protocols so far - too bad, 'cause i have to use 'pserver' or 'sspi'.
Project repository was created correctly and i don't have any firewall nor
antivirus SW active. I would appreciate some hint. Thank you.

unsuccessful attemp via pserver
----------------------------------------------
set cvsroot=:pserver:UserName at myserver:/TEST
cvs login
...
cvs [login aborted]: Error reading from server myserver: -1: No such file or
directory

unsuccessful attemp via sspi
------------------------------------------
set cvsroot=:sspi:myserver:/TEST
cvs login
...
cvs [login aborted]: Can't authenticate - server and client cannot agree on
an authentication scheme

environment
-----------------
Server: cvsnt 2.0.1.1 / 2.1.1 @ Windows2000 Server / Windows XP SP1
Client : cvs 1.11.1.3 console / WinCVS 1.3 @ Windows XP SP1
Situation: 1) both server and client on the same machine (Windows XP SP1),
2) server on Windows 2000, client on Windows XP

Regards,
Tomas Vala
