.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / Source Safe / March 2008Access VSS trough internet
Hello, We have Visual Sourcesafe 2005 on a server (SERVERAPP) working ok trough LAN sourcesafe plugin for VISUAL STUDIO 2005 (AND 2008 in a few days I hope...) Making some tests I was finally able to configure it for HTTP access (non secure, without certificate), but only within our LAN and trough SERVERAPP. The problem is that I don't know how to make people to be able to access vss from outside our lan, because http requests coming from outside are redirected to another server (SERVERDADES) with its own IIS. I tried to make a virtual folder under the main web site on SERVERDADES and redirect it to the folder and/or url for the vss web service on SERVERAPP, but it was not able to see it, or it gave me some errors... maybe this is not the right path. Another solution could be to establish another port for the web service and thus redirect the input for that port to SERVERAPP ? but I don't know how to establish that port... How can I achieve it ? wich is the best solution ? do I have to MOVE the entire database to SERVERDADES and reconfigure it ? (glups) Some more data: Serverapp is WINDOWS SERVER 2003, and serverdades is windows 2000 (too old). Both have its own IIS, of course. Thanks in advance  SignatureRoger Tranchez MCTS .NET 2005 and DB developer Hello Roger, IIS couldn't forward HTTP request to another server. It just redirects the request. When end user browser website on SERVERDADES, IIS on SERVERDADES will tell end user that the Request should be send to SERVERAP. Then IE will send another HTTP Request to SERERAPP. But, because there is no Public IP address bind with server SERERAPP. The request will failed on DNS. In this scenario, you need a proxy server (such as ISA) to forward HTTP Request to the backend IIS server. When HTTP Request arrives at ISA Server, ISA Server will forward the request to backend IIS server directly, rather than ask IE to send another request. However, if you haven't any ISA Server so far, I'm afraid to say you may have to deploy the whole VSS database on SERVERDADES... Hope this helps.
