Howdy,
I've just installed TFS (after a few days of pounding my head)... and now I've followed the walkthrough to allow SSL/Basic auth... so as to allow access over the internet (this is a test server, setup on an external box). I've managed to get most aspects working properly, however: from Team Explorer, "Work Items" fails to fill, and returns a red "X". Source control also fails. The details:
output in VS after a refresh of the team project:
Team Foundation Server vs-371_vds-104 does not exist or is not accessible at this time.
Technical information (for administrator):
HTTP code 503: TF30059: Fatal error while initializing web service
In the application error log:
3 warnings from TFS work item tracking - the first (and I think probably most interesting/useful):
TF53010: An unexpected condition has occurred in a Team Foundation component. The information contained here should be made available to your site administrative staff.

then 3 errors from TFS Version Control,
then 1 warning from TFS Version Control
then 2 warnings from TFS Version Control
It looks as though I'm just missing some permissions, or authentication policy Does anyone happen to know exactly what permission/policy might be involved in this specific instance What am I missing If I try the webservice by hand from ie i get:
TF10216: Team Foundation services are currently unavailable. Try again later. If the problem persists, contact your Team Foundation Server administrator.
Thanks so much,

Same proble, same cure.
Thanks for posting!

Sorry, just looking at my last post - the last "then 2 warnings from TFS Version Control" was meant to say "then 2 'Information' items from TFS Version control.
Cheers,

For what it's worth if anyone else runs into something similar, the problem seems to have been fixed by removing the subnet entry in my AuthenticationFilter.ini.
Cheers, Brad
