Windows tray notifier login problem
Hi all,
I'm having some problems configuring Teamcity Windows tray notifier v6.5.4.
I'm currently setting it up on a business LAN network with Teamcity installed on a server and several clients with tray notifier installed connecting to that server.
However it seems that on any given client I'm unable to login to Teamcity via Internet Explorer 9 and Windows 7 and that goes both for trying to login directly to Teamcity using IE9 or trying to connect to TeamCity through the tray notifier (and thus also IE9).
All I get is the error message that I need to enable support for cookies in IE9, which is already done as _all_ IE9 security settings are either turned off completely or turned down to the lowest setting.
I have no problem connecting the two directly on the server.
Do any of you talented people know if this is either a tray notifier, IE9 or network security problem? I'm guessing I can't be the first one experiencing this problem. Any ideas?
Regards,
Anders

Hi Anders
In Internet Explorer cookie settings are set separatelly on Privacy tab, not on Security tab.
Could you recheck them please.
I can confirm that in IE9 settings under the Privacy tab -> Settings is set to "Accept all cookies". Under the Security tab the Security Level is set to "medium" for all zones, both Trusted Sites, Internet and Local Intranet.
Worked out the problem.
It seems that TeamCity Windows Tray Notifier fails if you enter a domain name in the TeamCity Server Selection box (like "http://my_domainserver"). Instead it requires that you write the specific IP address of the server to connect even though it amounts to the same thing.
what is full string you enter?
do you specify http:// prefix, or just server name?
To connect to the server I've used full HTTP URL path, ie. initially I entered a connection string that was like this : "http://MYDOMAIN". That didn't work and tray notifier kept trying to connect to the server. Then I changed it to : "http://190.168.1.1" and then it worked like a charm. Didn't specify port (80) since I assumed that that would be inferred by specifying the http protocol and also the server was setup for using port 80.
Hope that clarifies things :)
The IP address mentioned above is of course only an example, I didn't try to get the tray notifier to connect to my router :)
