Integrated authentication in Firefox
Using Firefox 3 with Scrum Dashboard and Team System Web Access is not a pleasant experience because Integrated Authentication is by default disabled resulting in login dialogs every time you fire up a new browser. You could use the IE Tab plug-in on a Windows box but another alternative is to actually enable Integrated Authentication.
How-to:
1. Write about:config in the toolbar in Firefox and hit Enter
2. Write network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris in the Filter text area
3. Edit this setting and set the value to http://TFSSERVER
4. Write network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris in the Filter text area
5. Edit this setting also and set the value to http://TFSSERVER
6. Restart Firefox
Note! Replace TFSSERVER with the name of your TFS-server.
