Walkthrough: Setting up Team Foundation Server to Require HTTPS and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)

  • Makale

The following walkthrough describes a process for requiring Team Foundation clients to use HTTPS and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections to connect to Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server. To support external connections (such as connections made over the Internet) to your Team Foundation Server deployments, you must configure Internet Information Services (IIS) to enable Basic authentication, Digest authentication, or both. Additionally, you must configure an Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) filter.

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. Configure Team Foundation Server to require HTTPS and SSL.

  5. Install the certificate on client computers.

  6. Test the certificate.

Prerequisites

To complete this walkthrough:

  • The logical components that compose the Team Foundation data tier and application tier of Team Foundation Server must be installed and operational. This walkthrough refers to the server or servers running the logical components that compose the Team Foundation application tier as the Team Foundation application-tier server. Also, it refers to the server or servers running the logical components that comprise the Team Foundation data tier as the Team Foundation data-tier server. Depending on your deployment configuration, the Team Foundation application-tier server and the Team Foundation data-tier server might be the same physical server or one or more different physical servers. 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=79226).

  • You must have a certificate that is provided by a certification authority, or an internal certification authority (CA) must be available to issue certificates. This walkthrough assumes that you are using Microsoft Certificate Services as your CA. If you do not have a CA, 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).

  • If you configure a build agent for SSL connections:

    • Team Foundation Build and Team Explorer must be installed and operational.

    • A certificate must have been issued for the build agent.

    • Windows Support Tools must be installed on the build computer. These tools are required to associate a certificate with the IP address and port. For more information, see "Windows Support Tools" (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=93827).

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. To configure a build agent for SSL connections, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the build computer. For more information about permissions, see Team Foundation Server Permissions.

Assumptions

This walkthrough demonstrates a specific deployment configuration. If your deployment differs from this configuration, some of the steps in this walkthrough will not match those steps required to configure your deployment. For more information about steps for different versions of SharePoint Products and Technologies, SQL Server, Windows Server, and Internet Explorer, consult the Help for the appropriate versions of those systems.

This walkthrough makes the following assumptions about the starting configuration of the deployment for which you want to configure HTTPS and SSL:

  • The servers in the deployment are running Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6.0.

  • The deployment uses SQL Server 2005 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.

  • The client computers in the deployment are running Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6.0.

  • Both Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Certificate Services are installed and configured on the application-tier server for Team Foundation.

    Note

    To follow best practices for security, you should install Certificate Services on the application tier only for demonstration or test purposes. In a production environment, you should always install Certificate Services on a separate server.

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

  • You are familiar with public key infrastructures (PKIs) and certificates, including how to request, issue, and assign certificates. For more information about PKI and certificates, see the Microsoft Web site (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70930).

  • You are familiar with how to configure IIS, SQL Server, network settings, and network tools such as net use. You also have 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, but you can choose your own certification authority software and deployment configuration as best suits your business needs. 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

Once you have installed Certificate Services, you cannot change the name of the computer or the domain in which the computer is enlisted. If you change the computer name or domain, the certificate issued from the certification authority (CA) is invalidated.

To install Certificate Services on Windows Server 2003

  1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then select Add or Remove Programs.

  2. Click Add/Remove Windows Components.

  3. In the Windows Components Wizard, click Certificate Services in the Components list.

  5. Close Reporting Services Configuration Manager.

Important noteImportant Note:

Every computer (whether build server, client computer, proxy server, or other application computer) that will connect to this Team Foundation Server must trust the certificate authority that issued the certificate for the Web sites for Team Foundation Server. For more information about how to install certificates and establish trust relationships to certificate authorities, see the following page on the Microsoft Web site: Retrieve a certification authority certificate from a Windows Server 2003 CA. 

Installing the Certificate on Build Computers

If you installed Build Services on one or more servers, you must install the certificate on each of those servers.

Note

In order to perform builds over SSL, the certificate must be installed in the trusted root store on both the build computer for the account on which the build service is running and the computer that initiates the build. Additionally, the build server must have its own certificate. It cannot use the same certificate as the server that is running Team Foundation Server.

To install the certificate on build computers

  1. Log on to the build computer by using an account that is a member of the Administrators group on that computer.

  2. Open a browser, and then browse to the following Web site, where ApplicationTierServer is the name of the application-tier server for Team Foundation, and Port is the SSL port number that you assigned to the Web site for Team Foundation Server:

    https://ApplicationTierServer:Port/services/v1.0/serverstatus.asmx

  3. A security message dialog box appears. On Security Alert, click View Certificate.

  4. On the Certificate dialog box, click the Certification Path tab.

    https://ApplicationTierServer:Port/services/v1.0/serverstatus.asmx

    The ServerStatus Web Service page opens. This result confirms that you have installed the certificate and the certification authority correctly.

  16. Close the browser.

Configuring a Build Agent for SSL Connections

To configure a build agent for SSL connections, you must configure an HTTPS certificate for each combination of IP address and port. If all build agents share the same port on the build computer, you must configure only a single certificate. If you run more than one build agent on more than one port, you must configure a certificate for each port.

You configure a build agent to require SSL by performing the following tasks in sequence:

  1. Create and configure the build agent to require HTTPS.

  2. Stop the Visual Studio Team Foundation Build service.

  3. Modify the build service configuration to require HTTPS.

  4. Associate a certificate with the IP address and port.

    Important noteImportant Note:

    You cannot use the same certificate on the build agent that you used on the server that is running Team Foundation Server. The build agent must have its own certificate. You must install the certificate in the trusted root store on both the build computer for the account on which the build service is running and the computer that initiates the build.

  5. Configure the port and protocol for the build agent.

  6. Restart the Visual Studio Team Foundation Build service.

  7. Verify the SSL configuration.

To configure the build agent to require HTTPS

  1. Open the Manage Build Agents dialog box, and select the Require Secure Channel (HTTPS) check box.

    For more information, see How to: Create and Manage Build Agents.

  2. Click Edit.

    The Build Agent Properties dialog box appears.

  3. In the Agent status list, click Disabled.

To stop the Visual Studio Team Foundation Build service

  1. Log on to the build computer by using an account that is a member of the Administrators group on that computer.

  2. On the build computer, click Start, click Control Panel, click Administrative Tools, and then click Services.

  3. In the Services (Local) pane, right-click Visual Studio Team Foundation Build, and click Properties.

    The Visual Studio Team Foundation Build Properties (Local Computer) dialog box opens.

  4. Under Service Status, click Stop.

To modify the build service configuration to require HTTPS

  1. Log on to the build computer by using an account that is a member of the Administrators group on that computer.

  2. Open Drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies, right-click TfsBuildservice.config.exe, and click Open.

    The file opens in the XML editor for Visual Studio.

  3. In the <appSettings> section, change the value of the RequireSecureChannel key to "true". For example, change the key definition to the following string:

    <add key="RequireSecureChannel" value="true" />

  4. Save your changes, and close the file.

To associate an SSL certificate to an IP address and port number

  1. Log on to the build computer by using an account that is a member of the Administrators group on that computer.

  2. Use the Certificates snap-in to find an X.509 certificate that has an intended purpose of server authentication.

    Important noteImportant Note:

    You cannot use the same certificate on the build computer as the certificate that you use on the server that is running Team Foundation Server unless the build computer is installed on the same server that is running the application tier for Team Foundation.

    For more information, see "How To: Retrieve the Thumbprint of a Certificate" (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=93828).

  3. Copy the thumbprint of the certificate into a text editor, such as Notepad.

  4. Remove all spaces between the hexadecimal characters.

    You can perform this task by using the text editor's find-and-replace feature to replace each space with a null character.

  5. On the build computer, click Start, click All Programs, click Windows Support Tools, and then click Command Prompt.

  6. Run the HttpCfg.exe tool in "set" mode on the SSL store to bind the certificate to a port number. The tool uses the thumbprint to identify the certificate, as shown in the following example:

    httpcfg set ssl /i 0.0.0.0:9191 /h ThumbprintWithNoSpaces

    The /i parameter has the syntax of IPAddress:Port and instructs the tool to set the certificate to port 9191 of the build computer. The IP address 0.0.0.0 reserves all computer addresses for simplicity. If you need additional precision, specify the exact IP address on which the agent service is published. The /h parameter specifies the thumbprint of the certificate.

    If the client certificate must be negotiated, add the parameter**/f 2** as shown in the following example:

    httpcfg set ssl /i 0.0.0.0:9191 /h ThumbprintWithNoSpaces /f 2

    For more information about the syntax of the HttpCfg.exe command, see "How To: Configure a Port with An SSL Certificate" (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=93829).

To configure the build agent port and protocol

  1. At the command prompt, run wcfhttpconfigfreePortNumber. The command statement should resemble the following string:

    wcfhttpconfig free OldPortForHttp

    For more information, see wcfhttpconfig (Team Foundation Build).

  2. At the command prompt, run wcfhttpconfigreserveUserAccountURL. The command statement should resemble the following:

    wcfhttpconfig reserve Domain\Account https://+Computer:NewPortForHttps/Build/v2.0/AgentService.asmx

  3. Add the port to the exceptions list for Windows Firewall.

To restart the Visual Studio Team Foundation Build service

  1. Log on to the build computer by using an account that is a member of the Administrators group on that computer.

  2. On the build computer, click Start, click Control Panel, click Administrative Tools, and then click Services.

  3. In the Services (Local) pane, right-click Visual Studio Team Foundation Build, and click Properties.

    The Visual Studio Team Foundation Build Properties (Local Computer) dialog box opens.

  4. Under Service Status, click Start.

To verify the SSL configuration

  1. Open the Manage Build Agents dialog box.

    For more information, see How to: Create and Manage Build Agents.

  2. Click Edit.

    The Build Agent Properties dialog box appears.

  3. In the Agent status list, click Enabled.

  4. Verify whether communication is occurring by running a build using the build agent.

    For more information, see How to: Queue or Start a Build Definition.

Installing the Certificate on Team Foundation Server Proxy Computers
