[cvsnt] Help: Switch to user failed due to configuration error

[Randy McCharles]

Bo sent out installation tips yesterday.
Prior to that I resolved this problem by setting "Run as user" to a local machine admin and "default domain" to the user domain.
pserver now allows domain users to authenticate without configuration errors.
That said, I don't know if there are side-effects to this configuration. My server event viewer still lists authentication problems even though CVSNT processes the user requests.

Hi all,

I have CVSNT 2.5.03.2151 installed on a Windows 2003 x64 server and I am 
trying to connect from a Windows XP client (using Eclipse and TortoiseCVS).

When I try to connect from Totrtoise or Eclipse using pserver, 
authentication pass but I then receive the following message:

CVSROOT=:pserver:bda at xxxxx:/CVSREPO

Logging in to :pserver:bda at xxxxx:2401:/CVSREPO
Fatal error, aborting.
cvs.exe [login aborted]: bda: Switch to user failed due to configuration 
error.  Contact your System Administrator.

sspi works fine with Tortoise but is not available with Eclipse.

Any help please, Benoit.
