Visual Studio Team System 2008 and Domain Issues

We have TFS installed on an American server. We need to log into the VPN to access the TFS server. TFS is configured for use with a company domain user account. However, my system is part of a domain. Hence, I could not access TFS. I have a Visual Studio Team System Developer version. Can anyone here help how to access a TFS server installed with a different domain?

Hello,

Krish

TFS uses the domain information of the current Windows account, which is part of the TFS API.

If you sign in with an account that is in a different domain (Note: Local users are also in a different domain), you will not receive single sign-on.



As far as I know there is no way in the authentication model used by VSTS. You can write your own VSTS-style extensions using the existing VS API, which, say, uses a config file for credentials for authentication, since the TFS API supports authentication through a manually created user (we have an external application at work that authenticates against our TFS and is used by employees of our many offices in different domains).

For codeplex you need to connect to TFS using "SND \ username_cp", maybe you can also use "DOMAINNAME \ username".
