Promised SP1 docs

We've been working on putting together docs on 4 SP1 features. The documentation team will be ultimately releasing it through MSDN online docs updates but until then, it will be released through blogs.

Work Item Custom Controls - Includes docs on the APIs and a sample. Some additional docs are here.
Extranet configuration - http://blogs.msdn.com/vstsue/pages/Walkthrough_3A00_-Setting-up-Team-Foundation-Server-with-Secure-Sockets-Layer-_2800_SSL_2900_-and-an-ISAPI-Filter.aspx and http://blogs.msdn.com/vstsue/pages/Walkthrough_3A00_-Setting-up-Team-Foundation-Server-to-Require-HTTPS-and-Secure-Sockets-Layer-_2800_SSL_2900_.aspx. I have to admit that I haven't quite figured out yet why there are 2 of these but I wanted to get the info out as quickly as I could.
Separating SQL/AS from the TFS server - Step by step instructions - but please note, these are not for the faint of heart. Unless you really need to do this, don't right now. We'll make it easier in a future release - but at least now, it's possible.
Detailed Merge history - Includes a basic explanation of the mechanics of the new API.

Enjoy!

I'm guessing this is the link you're looking for WRT extranet?

@James, I hope not. This is just a description of the functionality, but if you want to actually use you need more info.

# re: Promised SP1 docs

Right, I'm trying to get the "real" documentation. That page doesn't have enough info in it to actually do anything with.

# re: Promised SP1 docs

There's one minor difference between the two docs - one has you setup to accept HTTPS connections *exclusively*, and the other continues to allow connecting without HTTPS as well as with.

If you're going to use the latter, make sure you consider the implications carefully - you don't want a situation where someone's using the ISAPI filter (and basic or digest auth) but NOT using HTTPS, as they'd be sending their credentials in a weakly-protected fashion.
