How to: Verify or Correct Server Binding Assignments

  • Article

If you have problems when you try to access the Web sites or Web services for Team Foundation, you should verify whether the server binding assignments for one or more Web sites have been modified. By default, Team Foundation Server does not configure multiple identities for the Team Foundation Web sites. However, organizations frequently change the default server assignments to match their infrastructure requirements or security policies.  

Team Foundation Server uses the default identities in the following table:

Service

IP address

Host header value

Default Web Site

(All Unassigned)

None

Team Foundation Server Web Service

(All Unassigned)

None

SharePoint Central Administration Service

(All Unassigned)

None

Note

Before you change any assignments, you should determine why the server bindings for a Web site were changed so that you do not violate any organizational policies.

Required Permissions

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators security group on the application-tier server for Team Foundation.

To verify or change the server binding assignments in IIS 6.0

  1. Log on to the application-tier server.

  2. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

  4. Right-click the Web site that you want to verify or change (for example, Default Web Site), and click Properties.

  5. On the Web Site tab, click Advanced.

  6. In the Advanced Web Site Identification dialog box, modify the identities for the corresponding Web site.

  7. Click OK to apply the change.

  8. Click OK close the dialog box.

To verify or change the server binding assignments in IIS 7.0

  1. Log on to the application-tier server.

  2. Open the Start menu, point to Administrative Tools, right-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, and then click Run as administrator.

  3. In the tree pane, expand the local computer, and expand Sites.

  4. Click the Web site that you want to verify or change (for example, Default Web Site).
