# Connecting to Source Control
Astera features integration with Team Foundation Server and VSTS to manage version control over your projects.
To connect to a *Source Control* server, navigate to
*Project > Source Control > Connect to Source Control Server*
### Connecting to TFS
Windows Authentication can be used to connect to a Team Foundation Server. This uses the current user which is logged on to Windows and uses the windows credentials to authenticate the user.
### Connecting to VSTS
Various authentication methods can be used to connect to Visual Studio Team Services (Visual Studio Online). When using these authentication methods, the *Path* can be set as empty with *Port* set to 0.
*Alternate Authentication* can be enabled inside the Security settings for your Visual Studio account. This enables the account to have a manageable separate username and password.
*Personal Access Tokens* can also be enabled and uses a generated token to authenticate the account.
Rest Authentication provides a built in prompt to login using your Microsoft account.
