I am trying to use the SSPI protocol using WinCvs. Due to the fact that I am logged on as a different user on my laptop I need to specify the protocol as: :sspi:user at server:/repo This can be done in the Admin/preferences dialogue of WinCvs, but when I use the Admin/login command WinCvs does not allaow me to actually log in. Instead it displays: "Logging in is only required with pserver authentication (see Preferences dialog). Please consult the CVS manual for more details." If I go to the command line instead and enter: set CVSROOT=:sspi:user at server:/repo cvs login then I get the login dialogue and I am successfully logged in to the server (via the Internet) Next observation: I want to use the encrypt flag for the operations on this server with SSPI. So when I set the preferences I open the settings through the button and check the encrypt checkbox. This should result in the -x option being added to the cvs commands but I cannot see that happening. In the command window I see only the -z flag for cvs, not the -x flag I specified to switch on encryption. Is the sspi protocol not supported fully???? I use the following versions: CVS: CVSNT version 1.11.1.3 57j WinCvs: The latest version as of Oct 12th built from source. It seems like WinCvs has problems handling SSPI and since this is the preferred way to operate on Windows NT (replacing ntserver) then I feel these shortcomings need to be addressed. /Bo
