We have TFS installed in a US server. We need to login into VPN to access the TFS server. TFS is configured to use with company’s domain user account. However my system is part of the domain. Hence I couldn’t access the TFS. I have Visual Studio Team System Developer edition. Can someone here help how to access TFS server installed with different domain?
Regards,
Krish
TFS uses the domain information of the current logged in Windows account, it’s part of the TFS API.
If you’re logging into the machine with an account which is on a different domain (Note: Local users are also on a different domain) you will not get single-sign-on.
As far as I’m aware there isn’t a way around the authentication model which VSTS uses. You could write your own VSTS-style extensions using the existing VS API which say, uses a config file for the authentication credentials as the TFS API does support authentication through a manually-created user (we have an external application at work which authenticates against our TFS server and is used by employees of our many offices on different domains).
