Connecting to TFS from iPhone
- by Andrei
Hi.
I'm building this iPhone application to connect to a secured TFS server (one that requires authentication before letting you access its web services). When I access this server in a browser, the first thing it will do is ask me for credentials (username/password) and then connect me to the TFS server if those credentials are correct.
I am using web services, as I don't think there is any other way to use TFS functionality for an outside platform...without changing stuff on the TFS host machine. So my questions are:
Are there any web services that can
be accessed to log into the TFS
server?
This authentication mechanism seems
to be something common among multiple
websites (I have seen it in other
websites). Is there a way to
replicate that authentication
mechanism by sending an HTTP request?
Is there a way to replicate this
authentication procedure in any way?
Thanks!
