David,

 

Normally all your users need to be in AD.

 

We do the same for our customers who want to access our TFS.  What we do
is creating the AD users with only the rights for the TFS site.  The
security in TFS is set so that they can only access the site and can
raise defects, view the progress,...

 

For some clients we even create only one or two users which they share
across multiple users at their site.

 

Hopes this helps you.

 

Kind regards

Subject: [OzTFS] TFS and Forms Based Authentication

 

Hi,

 

I'm playing around with the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System Web
Access 2005 to see what's involved in opening up my TFS 2005 server to
allow external clients access so they can raise defects, view progress,
etc.

 

I have installed and created a new web site with Forms Based
Authentication, and it all works fine with my Active Directory user
account. It has a nice user interface for the web side of things.

 

What I want to do now is to create a user account for an external
client.  Do I need to create them an account in my Active Directory? It
looks like I do, but I wanted to get away from this. I was hoping to be
able to do it some other way?

 

Is AD the preferred approach? What have others done? Any suggestions
would be appreciated.

 

BTW, I am also looking at doing this for my TFS 2008 server when we
upgrade later on this year, but I want to get the 2005 version going
first.

 

Cheers,

 

David
