Installing Team Foundation for Use over the internet

Question

Hello,

I  have developers that are in different countries and I am trying to get TFS installed on HTTPS. First issue is that my machine name "machine1" is not the same as the name developers will have to use to get to it over the internet "machine1.mydomain.com".  I was able to figure out the SSL part but now how do I configure all the links in TFS to point to my extrenal name "machine1.mydomain.com" without breaking my installation?

Thanks,

Frank

Answer 1

as long as machine1 internally equals machine1.mydomain.com internally as well you should be able to reregister the application tier to point to the machine1.mydomain.com address using tfsadminutil.

Answer 2

My issue is that the machine's full qualified name is "machine1.companyhosting.com" and my outside name is "machine1.domain.com" will this still work?

Answer 3

Can you add in a dns entry in your internal network so that machine1.domain.com points back to the machine?

Answer 4

Yes, let me set that up and will post results.

Thanks,

Frank
