VSSDatabase.Open via ASP.NET
A customer
recently sent me the following code, which uses VSS automation to open a
SourceSafe database via an ASP.NET page. He was running IIS locally
against a remote VSS server and, upon running the code got the
following error message: ”The
SourceSafe database path Guest does not exist. Please select another
database.”
<%@ Import Namespace="SourceSafeTypeLib" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Testing VSS Automation with
ASP.NET</title></head>
<body>
<script
language="C#" runat=server>
VSSDatabase db =
new VSSDatabase();
void Page_Init (Object oSender, EventArgs
oEvent)
{
string path = @\\vsufile\vsstest\srcsafe.ini;
string user
= "Admin";
string pass = "*pass!1wor2t";
db.Open(path, user, pass);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Issue
Description and Workaround
This error message appears
when VSS is unable to locate or gain access to a srcsafe.ini
file. To work around this issue, one must grant permission to the ASPNET
user for the \\vsufile share or allow IIS
impersonation on the Web server. The appearance of "Guest"
in the error message is a known issue. Apparently, the 'user' and 'path'
variables got transposed in the code.
