RE: Question

Hi, Chris,

Sounds like you're all set.

After the user connects to the SOS server, the next prompt is the login for 
the VSS database. The user would enter their Visual SourceSafe username and 
password. Please note that SOS does not support Windows Authentication, so 
each user would need a username and password for the database.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
