[cvsnt] Re: Authentication protocol rejected access - Problem

[Chuck Kirschman]

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.

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).
