Team Foundation Server: Change profile picture

In Team Foundation Server, you can set a picture for your user profile. This picture is shown at different locations inside the TFS Web Access. As long as you don’t set a picture, you only get a boring icon.

For example the Team members overview looks like this on the Overview page of your TFS project:

  • Navigate to the Web Access url of the Team project that has the User Profiles you want to set.
  • Navigate to the Administration page by clicking on the Wheel icon in the upper right corner.

  • That’s it!

If we now look at the Team Members again, you’ll see:

Remark: This change will be applied to all your Team projects.

Another way to get there:

  • Click on your name in the right corner of the page

  • Select My profile

  • Click on Change picture

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case.

That should do the trick…
