Licensing

  • View collection-level information for the selected collection. Lack of this permission usually manifests as error message when running TFS / VSTS connection test, although sometimes it's not the case (the test passes, but TFS quietly returns no results). How to set the permission:

    • Visual Studio 2010/2012: Team -> Team Project Collection Settings -> Security

  • Read permission for the selected folder. How to set the permission:
    • Visual Studio 2010: View -> Other Windows -> Source Control Explorer -> Right click on the folder -> Properties ->  Security

Also, please verify that your TFS4JIRA plugin version is 1.7.5 or newer as previous versions contained a critical bug.

TFS4JIRA Synchronizer installation

...

TFS4JIRA Synchronizer application can be reached under the following URL: http://<your-iis-host>/tfs-jira-synchronizer. You may need to setup appropriate access permissions in order to be able to log in to the application.

TFS4JIRA Synchronizer refuses to establish connection because of proxy.

The Synchronizer by default assumes a direct (or at least transparent) connection. Proxy is handled by editing Synchronizer configuration file:
Try adding a following section to the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\tfs-jira-synchronizer\Web.config (dafault location of web.config file) file, just before <system.web>:

<system.net>
    <defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true">
        <proxy
            proxyaddress="http://IP_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_PROXY"
            bypassonlocal="true"
        />
    </defaultProxy>
</system.net>

Remember to restart Default Web Site in your IIS Manager.

TFS4JIRA Synchronizer installer finished without any complaints but I get "HTTP 500.19" error when I navigate to the application site.

You need to run following command in console: %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd unlock config -section:system.webServer/modules

TFS4JIRA Synchronizer installer finished without any complaints but I get "HTTP 500" error on static files (*.js, *.css) when I navigate to the application site.

...

Not all of the values from TFS / VSTS are visible on the mappings screen (for example only subset of State fields can be chosen).

Remove folder <synchronizer_path>\App_Data\TFSClientCache and check again if all of the TFS / VSTS values are on the list now.

I want to synchronize only JIRA Issues and TFS / VSTS Work Items of some types and ignore other items.
