Walkthrough: Setting up Team Foundation Server with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

  • Artikel

The following walkthrough describes one procedure for requesting, issuing, and assigning certificates that are used for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections. You can increase the security of Team Foundation Server by enabling Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections between the client and the server parts of Team Foundation Server.

Important

If you configure Team Foundation Server to use any customized ports, such as HTTPS and SSL, you will not be able to install any service packs for Team Foundation Server after you make those changes. Installation of service packs will fail. You must reconfigure Team Foundation Server to its default settings before you can apply service packs for Team Foundation Server.

Throughout this walkthrough, you will accomplish the following activities:

  1. Create a certificate request for Team Foundation Server Web sites.

  2. Issue the certificate request and create the binary certificate file.

  3. Install and assign the certificate.

  4. Install the certificate on client computers.

  5. Test the certificate.

Note

The procedures in this walkthrough do not require the clients to use HTTPS and SSL only when they connect to Team Foundation Server. For more information about how to restrict connections to HTTPS and SSL only, see How to: Configure Team Foundation Server for HTTPS and SSL Only.

Important

If you have installed Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Team Foundation Server, you can take advantage of support for Basic and Digest authentication available with that service pack. For more information, see Team Foundation Server, Basic Authentication, and Digest Authentication, and then follow the procedures in either Walkthrough: Setting up Team Foundation Server with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and an ISAPI Filter or Walkthrough: Setting up Team Foundation Server to Require HTTPS and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

Prerequisites

To complete this walkthrough:

  • Both the data tier and application tier parts of Team Foundation Server must be installed. For more information, see the Team Foundation Installation Guide. You can download the latest version of the Team Foundation Installation Guide from the Microsoft Download Center (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=40042).

  • You must have a certification authority (CA) available to issue certificates. This walkthrough assumes that you are using Microsoft Certificate Services as your CA. If you do not have a certification authority, you can install Microsoft Certificate Services and configure a certification authority. For more information, see the Microsoft Web site (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70929).

Required Permissions

You must be a member of the Administrators group on the Team Foundation application-tier and data-tier servers and a member of the Team Foundation Administrators group to complete this procedure. For more information about permissions, see Team Foundation Server Permissions.

Assumptions

This walkthrough assumes the following:

  • The Team Foundation data-tier server and the Team Foundation application-tier server have been installed and deployed in a secure environment and configured according to security best practices.

  • The administrator configuring Team Foundation Server with SSL is familiar with public key infrastructures (PKIs) and certificates, including familiarity with requesting, issuing, and assigning certificates. For more information about PKI and certificates, see the Microsoft Web site (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70930).

  • The administrator is familiar with configuring Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft SQL Server, and network settings, and has a working knowledge of the network topology of the development environment.

Installing Microsoft Certificate Services

This walkthrough uses Microsoft Certificate Services as the certification authority (CA) for issuing certificates. For convenience in this walkthrough, Certificate Services is installed on the Team Foundation application-tier server. For security, you should consider isolating your root certification authority when you deploy Certificate Services in a production deployment. Physical isolation of the CA server, in a facility available only to security administrators, can significantly reduce the risk of tampering. For more information about Certificate Services features and best practices, see the Microsoft Web site (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70929).

Warning
