SourceSafe 2005 with Visual Studio 2003

Hello,

I've installed Visual SourceSafe 2005 (Beta 2 - version 8.0.50215.44) on my Windows 2003 machine.

The machine had Visual Studio 2003 (Version 7.1.3088) installed before.

The installation of sourceSafe was completed, and I've succeeded using the visual sourceSafe client to connect to my sourcesafe database (SourceSafe 6.0 database)

I've also succeeded creating new database (locally) and made it avilable to internet (using the Server -> Configure menu)

When I look at IIS, I see the SourceSafe virtual folder, and I also tried to call the web service (VssService.asmx) and received the WSDL - So the WebService seems to work.

I've used SCPSelector.exe to switch to the Microsoft Internet SourceSafe (Internet) Provider.

Than I've tried to open a project from source safe in Visual Studio 2003 (File -> Source Control -> Open From Source Control)

A window with avilable databases came up, and I've tried to add my database (http://localhost/SourceSafe/VssService.asmx) , But it always tried to connect using HTTPS (I don't have HTTPS on my local machine)

I've tried to modify the address from the registry, but received the same error - Saying it can't connect (Cannot connect the Visual SourceSafe Internet Web Service or cannot access the specified database. The server returned the following error code: 0x80072EFD.)

I've read in some threads here, that I need to tell the provider not to connect using HTTPS - but I couldn't find where to do so.

Any information on how to enable Visual SourceSafe 2005 Internet provider on Visual Studio 2003 will be appriciated.

Thanks,

Hi Igal,

In VisualStudio 2003, try opening the Tools/Options dialog, then expanding the SourceControl/SCC Provider nodes (they match the similar nodes from VS2005 SourceControl/Plug-in Settings).
Click the Advanced button on that page, and uncheck "Always use SSL to connect to the server".

Note that when not using SSL, you'll need to create a VSS user in the VSS database to match your Windows logon name. Also, if you set a password for the VSS user you'll also need to enable in VSS Admin Tools/Options/General "Use network name for automatic login"
