I am facing a strange issue.I want to connect tfs server using tfs api programmitcally.
Even after giving proper authentcaion crediatials it is failing.But if I do it manually by typing tfs server name in browser its got connected.
code:
TeamFoundationServer tfs = new TeamFoundationServer(new Uri("http://10.112.205.145:8080/tfs"), new NetworkCredential(#"usrname", "pwd", "domain"));
tfs.EnsureAuthenticated()
Please suggest.
A simple way to do this is to add the "Syetem.Net" namespace to your code and then use the "CredentialCache" object. Using "DefaultCredentials" will Authenticate with the credentials of the active user.
// connect to the collection
using (TfsTeamProjectCollection teamProjectCollection = new TfsTeamProjectCollection("http://server:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection", CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials))
{
//Do Stuff here
}
Have you tried doing it this way..
TfsTeamProjectCollection collection = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(
new Uri(http://server:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection,
new System.Net.NetworkCredential("domain_name\\user_name", "pwd"));
collection.EnsureAuthenticated();
For your problem, normally you get an error like:
Possible reasons for failure include:
- The name, port number, or protocol for the Team Foundation Server is incorrect.
- The Team Foundation Server is offline.
- The password has expired or is incorrect.
The root cause of your problem is that the URI should be ended up with the collection name. So the fix would be, to change "http://10.112.205.145:8080/tfs" to "http://10.112.205.145:8080/tfs/%YourCollectionName%", then it will work! :-)

I've been writing a custom TFS 2013 server plugin for my company that automatically creates tasks whenever a new bug or product backlog item is created. While debugging I can see it detecting the new work item, but when it tries connect to the TfsTeamProjectCollection it throws TF30063 exception saying I'm not allowed to access the server. What baffles me is, in an attempt to see if the code after that worked, I made a simple client-side form application with the exact same code to connect to the server and it worked flawlessly.
The code I'm using to connect with is:
string tfsUri = string.Empty;
tfsUri = #"http://companytfsserver:8080/tfs/defaultcollection";
TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs = TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(new Uri(tfsUri));
tfs.EnsureAuthenticated();
I've also tried manually setting the credentials, but no luck. Also, if it helps, I used this as my guide: http://geekswithblogs.net/BobHardister/archive/2012/10/08/automatically-create-bug-resolution-task-using-the-tfs-2010-api.aspx
I read through a ton of documentation of people getting the same exception, but none of what I found seemed relevant to this particular situation, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
*Update: After more digging and testing, it's possible it may have something to do with our application tier. I'll have to wait for the IT guy that's familiar with that particular system to get back from a conference (Monday, I think), but I'll update once I find out for sure.
**Update: I finally figured it out and I can't believe how simple it was. It turns out the URI that's used to connect via client app does not work when it's used in an app tier server plugin. Instead, it has to be localhost:8080/tfs/defaultcollection. Makes perfect sense to me now, but it never even crossed my mind before.
Just as jessehouwing says, since you are using collection uri "http://companytfsserver:8080/tfs/defaultcollection" You must have permissions on the Prioject(collection) with your account and TFS service account.
// Connect to TFS Work Item Store
ICredentials networkCredential = new NetworkCredential(tfsUsername, tfsPassword, domain);
Uri tfsUri = new Uri(#"http://my-server:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection");
TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(tfsUri, networkCredential);
WorkItemStore witStore = new WorkItemStore(tfs);
We are working with another company whom has a Oracle Identity Management Server setup. We are to connect to this and authenticate users based on LDAP data retried from the server.
We have tried to plug into this by using an LdapConnection object passing in the server name and port along with the Network credentials they are providing to us so we are using a AuthType of Basic. However on the Bind() we are always failing because it says that we have invalid credentials. We have worked with the client to make sure they are correct and we have been able to log in to Oracle Identity Management with the credentials, although the user name we had to use data from the SearchRequests distinguished name. But even using that we keep on receiving the same error. Client is also using the credentials to connect via Java.
This is an issue where as I think there is no solution really, but does anyone out there have any idea on how to go about doing this? We have the same code running which is working and pulling from Active Directory. So our code should be fine as long as Oracle supports connecting in this fashion. But finding anything in regards to this topic is like pulling teeth.
Anyone have any experience with this out there? Please let me know I would be happy to provide any additional details if needed.
Thanks in advance!
I recently fumbled through connecting to OID using LDAP. Here's the code that ended up working for me:
// make sure the server and port are correct
using (var ldap = new LdapConnection("ldap.company.com:3060"))
{
// make sure to pass the username as a distinguishedName
var dn = string.Format("cn={0},cn=users,dc=company,dc=com", username);
// passing null for the domain worked for me
var credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(dn, password, null);
ldap.AuthType = AuthType.Basic;
try
{
ldap.Bind(credentials);
return true;
}
catch (LdapException ex)
{
return false;
}
}
i want to access my team foundation server (online preview) webservice by c# code. My problem is to find the right address to connect the webservice ("http://XXX.tfspreview.com" is not the right address).
Does anybody know this address or has some information?
Search on the microsoft homepage got no results.
Thanks!
Here's a thread on this very subject
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/TFService/thread/a56269d8-7840-4d48-b77a-5aaf1976a2a6/
You can add this namespaces
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client;
using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client;
Sample (Service Locator TfsTeamProjectCollection )
TfsTeamProjectCollection teamProjectCollection = TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(new Uri("http://tfsURI"));
var service = (YourTypeOfService)teamProjectCollection.GetService(typeof(YourTypeOfService));
See topic. Everything works fine on my devmachine where VStudio2010 are installed.
But not on a clean test server (The setup project includes all used TFS assemblies).
The docs http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff735997.aspx is not very helpful about the return value:
Null if no match is found.
Should I use another method to get a TFS connection? I'm just trying to list and download some files from a specific project.
Update
I reverted back to this:
var uri = new Uri("http://myserver/");
var tfs = new TeamFoundationServer(uri);
var versionControl = tfs.GetService<VersionControlServer>();
Which works. But TeamFoundationServer is obsolete. So I would like to know how to do it in the new way.
I use:
var uri = new Uri("http://myserver/");
var server = TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(uri);
I had the same issue. The RegisteredTfsConnections.GetProjectCollection() method was not consistently returning collections. This wasn't by user but strangely by computer. My dev box showed all collections and my test box showed none.
In my research I found an MSDN article/solution which may help anyone whom currently wants to get a list of TFS collections on the server.
"Sample Code: Connect to Team Foundation Server" by Allen Clark
It worked for me in Team Foundation Server Object Model v12.
I ran into the same issue today. The reason why I was getting a null return was that some users were using TFS through the web interface and they had not added the server through the Visual Studio plugin for TFS.
The answer from RegisteredTfsConnections.GetProjectCollection I get null exception also worked for this situation.
var tfs = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri("http://example.com:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection"));
var versionControl = (VersionControlServer)tfs.GetService(typeof(VersionControlServer));
At my company we have recently set up a TeamFoundation proxy to our TeamFoundationServer. I have written a C# app, that connects to the TFS to query various things. Now, I want the app to support connection over the TFS proxy as well. As I am not really familiar with TFS, I am having some difficulties. Ideally, I want the application to only "know" the TFS proxy and have it act just like the normal TFS. Is this even possible?
What I am doing is something like this:
TfsTeamProjectCollection projects =
new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri(serverUriString,
new NetworkCredential(username, password, domain));
This works fine if serverUriString is the TFS (e.g. "http://MyTfs:8080"). When I substitute this with the TFS proxy (e.g. "http://MyTfsProxy:8081") I get some unspecific TeamFoundationServiceUnavailableException, where at the end it states that a http 404 error occurred. The 404 doesn't make much sense to me, I am able to ping the server, I can connect to it from the browser and Visual Studio acceppts it as well. Do I need to set a connection to the TFS AND the proxy? If yes, how do I do that?
The AddProxy() method is used to register a list of proxy servers with the TFS server, so that clients can automatically detect & use a proxy server.
If you just want to configure your client to use a proxy server, there is no property to do this. You have to set a registry key or an undocumented environment variable.
For TFS2008 clients, the registry key is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Proxy]
"Enabled"="True"
"Url"="http://someproxy:8081"
For TFS2010 clients, the registry key is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Proxy]
"Enabled"="True"
"Url"="http://someproxy:8081"
In either TFS version, you can set the undocumented environment variable:
System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TFSPROXY",http://someproxy:8081);
You can do this:
TfsTeamProjectCollection server = TfsTeamProjectCollectionFactory.GetTeamProjectCollection(new Uri(serverName));
server.EnsureAuthenticated();
var versionControlServer = server.GetService<VersionControlServer>();
versionControlServer.ConfigureProxy(proxyName);
