Flare With TFS at https://xxxx.visualstudio.com/

[Ken Cox]

Has anyone connected via Flare to TFS at https://xxxxx.visualstudio.com/? This is Microsoft's new TFS 2012 service.

I think the service uses a Microsoft ID for authentication. I'm getting a not authorized error from Flare. I get in fine from Visual Studio 2012.

Ideas?

I'd like to know, too. We are new to Flare, and our developers would like me to consider using TFS for sourcing our Help projects.

I'd like to know more about this and how it's done.

The deafening silence on the issue suggests they don't know how to implement Microsoft ID authentication in Flare or don't consider it a priority.

This is a peeer to peer forum, you'll only get an answer if someone on the forum has experience relating to the issue. With newer technology it could well be that no-one has tried it before...

You can lodge a bug/ enhancement report, https://www.madcapsoftware.com/feedback/bugs.aspx.

You can also contact Madcap support, who are generally very good at sorting out issues!

Out of curiosity, has anyone encountered new information about this question?

According to the Flare 9 system requirements, TFService (the visualstudio.com version) isn't supported: "Team Foundation Server 2005, 2008, 2010 or 2012 (non Cloud version)." I tried setting it up anyway, but it can't even connect to the server.
