Login and Authentication

When your site uses internal authentication (CA Harvest SCM Authentication), login is granted only if the user name and password are valid login credentials in CA Harvest SCM. If you attempt to log in with an expired password, the login attempt fails. In the Visual Studio Plug-in, you can use Tools, Options, Source Control, Harvest SCM General, Change Password to change your password. Alternatively, the Change Password dialog on the CA Harvest SCM Workbench lets you change your password when your site uses internal authentication.

When your site uses external authentication, such as Microsoft Active Directory, login is granted only if the user name exists in CA Harvest SCM and the user name and password are valid login credentials on the authentication server. If login fails due to password expiration, you are not prompted to change the password; change your password using methods provided by the authentication server.
