Overview Installation of Teamprise Explorer on all platforms is simple: unzip the archive and run the program. However, there are a few things to note when installing it for use by multiple users (either from a network share or in a system location on a multi-user system). Permissions When Explorer is installed for multi-user access, it is important to set the permissions on the installed files and directories so users cannot modify the installed files or create new subdirectories th …

Overview On Unix platforms where Teamprise Explorer uses the Motif windowing toolkit, Teamprise Explorer may appear to hang or not accept mouse and keyboard input when it loads. This problem is due to an incompatible window manager. The problem appears more often when using X server programs for Microsoft Windows. The problem has not been observed when using the Unix vendor's X server and window managers on a Unix workstation. Symptoms After launching Teamprise Explorer, the sp …

Overview Teamprise client applications can remember authentication credentials so the user does not have to type them every time the application connects to a Team Foundation Server. These credentials are saved in connection profiles when a profile is created or edited, and in the workspace cache if the user enabled cached credential saving (a check-box in the graphical applications, an environment variable for the command-line client). The profile and workspace caches are stored as XML fi …

Introduction In previous versions of Teamprise Plug-in for Eclipse, shared Eclipse projects were required to be located directly beneath the Eclipse workspace root. This limitation meant that certain project layouts were not supported - for example, placing projects within a strict hierarchy. Teamprise Plug-in for Eclipse 3.2 supports mapping projects outside the Eclipse workspace root to provide increased flexibility in configuration. Configuring Project Mappings After installing …

Overview Apple HFS and HFS+ filesystems support file flags containing optional metadata, including the "user immutable" flag which prevents a file from being modified (regardless of Unix permissions.) Mac OS X software routinely sets the user immutable flag when setting files read-only. While Teamprise clients frequently set files read-only, clients do not set the user immutable bit by default to support legacy applications which do not understand the immutable bit. Using the user immut …

Introduction Teamprise Client Suite 3.2 (and higher) support authentication to Team Foundation Server using Kerberos over the Negotiate (SPNEGO) protocol, to properly configured TFS instances. Authentication with a Kerberos ticket allows you to authenticate from supported client platforms to your server in a secure manner while not providing your password. Once you have obtained a Kerberos ticket, you should be able to configure the login profile in your Teamprise client to use Kerberos. …
