SOS Server on different machine to VSS database

[anoopm]

Hi,

We have a situation where the remote developers needs to access multiple VSS repositories. Hence, we are planning to have a dedicated machine for SOS server which will then connect to the VSS repositories on multiple servers. As per the Knowledge Base, we will be running the SOS server under a domain user account with access to these VSS repositories. The VSS repositories will be accessed by the SOS server service as UNC paths.

However, when we use the 'soscmd' command line tool, the command only accepts the username and password under which the SOS server service is running. This is a serious limitation for us as we cannot afford to reveal the SOS service user and password to everybody.

Am I missing something, or is this a limitation with the command line tool?

TIA for your help,
Anoop V. Mathew
