Hi,

I'm rather new to Interdev and I have run into a problem:
We are running a web site on w2k iis server. and we wanted to add the project to the Source Safe so it can be also accessed from the Interdev. The problem is that we when the file is checked out it's written as the annonimus user has done the checking out. the annonimus that we are useing is not the Microsoft Default one but it is the Admin User of the computer. I have fallowed Microsodt instructions and there it says that the same annonimus user name should be difined as a user in VSS (I have done that for the Admin User).
How can I work with Annonimus user other then the default one and still see the user that have checked out the file?

Hope that I'm Clear and thanx in advanced
 
This is a BIG problem that I have not yet fully solved. You should give read-only access to the 'anonymous' user, whoever that is, to the files in your web. Make sure this includes any groups that the user is in. In theory, this will prevent VSS from using that user id for checkout.

But we have webs that STILL seem to check-out to the anonymous user. Other webs, on the same server, check out to the correct person every time. The only difference that I can determine is that the 'correct' webs were entirely created by VI, the incorrect ones already existed before VI was used against them. (Content Management)
