After implementing the security with IIS/AD and Mercurial, Keyring extension can be enabled in TortoiseHg so that you do not have to type in username/password combination every time a request is made to the server. Aside from enabling the extension, add something like this to your repository settings:

[ui]

username = your_username

 

[extensions]

mercurial_keyring =

[auth]

default.schemes = http https

default.prefix = your_serwver.local/path_to_hg

default.username = your_username

 

In [auth] section, "default" refers to the name of the remote repository which is, in this case, default.
