Instructions
Installing on the Team Foundation Server Application Tier
- Install Team Explorer 2008.
- Download and run TeamSystemWebAccess.msi and follow the instructions.
- During the installation, you can configure Team System Web Access to use Integrated Windows authentication (only available when installing on the Team Foundation Server application tier).
Installing on a Remote Server
When Team System Web Access is installed on a remote server, it is not possible to use Integrated Windows authentication, so you will need to use Forms-based authentication. It is recommended to configure the Team System Web Access site to use SSL when using Forms-based authentication.
- Install IIS 6 (Windows 2003) or IIS 7 (Windows Server 2008) with IIS 6 compatibility mode enabled.
- Install .NET Framework 2.0 and enable ASP.NET 2.0 on IIS Web service extensions.
