Answer 1

Did the TFS-PS configuration using tfsadmin.exe work fine?

Did any thing change after the configuration? Like TFS Service account changed?

Is the PWA working? 

I would suggest first looking at the IIS log on the Project Server application tier box.

More specific 403.XX error code may reveal something.

Answer 2

1. yes, there were no errors

2. no

3. yes, PWA is working, but project plans that I setup for tfs integration open as regular project plans w/o any tfs specific fields, views, etc

4. it is just 403 w/o specific subcodes.

2011-06-21 20:45:34 POST /projects/_vti_bin/PSI/LookupTable.asmx - 80 -                       403 0 0
2011-06-21 20:46:04 POST /projects/_vti_bin/PSI/LookupTable.asmx - 80 -                       401 2 5
2011-06-21 20:46:04 POST /projects/_vti_bin/PSI/LookupTable.asmx - 80 -                       401 1 2148074254 - (8009030E - No credentials are available in the security package?)
2011-06-21 20:46:04 POST /_vti_bin/PSI/LookupTable.asmx              - 80 domain\server$ 200 0 0

but I found smth interesting: system is trying 2 times to get something from /projects/_vti_bin/xxx with 401 error code, and then immediately tries /_vti_bin/xxx with success (/projects is my PWA)

POST /projects/_vti_bin/PSI/CustomFields.asmx - 401 2 5
POST /projects/_vti_bin/PSI/CustomFields.asmx - 401 1 2148074254
POST /_vti_bin/PSI/CustomFields.asmx - 200 0 0

Answer 3

I have the exacly same problem with my project-tfs syncronization. Do you have a solution for this problem?

Answer 4

as far as I remember I once again carefully went thru the above link and checked all permissions.

docs are a bit messy with a lot of crosslinks all over the place, but I managed to get .chm version of it, printed it, and after careful studying found two or three places with checklists of "todo"s.
