I am the admin for my company's TFS2012 server. I have gotten GIT-TF working for myself, however the other developers at my company are having permission problems. They have access to the project in question as a contributor, but performing a clone of the project is yielding permission problems. Below is a snapshot of the cmd and error:
git-tf clone <servername> <projectname>
Connecting to TFS...
Username: <username>
Password:
Password:
Password:
git-tf: Access denied connecting to TFS server <servername> <authenticating as <username>>
When I perform the same command, it doesn't ask for my username and password, presumably because I am logged into Windows under a user with permission.
Thank you for any assistance.
Did you make sure to include the collection name in the url passed to the git-tf command? My company had problems exactly like you describe and that was the fix.
This: git-tf clone http://<server>:<port>/tfs/<collection name> $/<project name>
Not this: git-tf clone http://<server>:<port>/tfs/ $/<project name>
Hope this helps.
