When connecting to my git repo I have to add authentication header
git -c http.extraHeader="Authorization: Basic $b64pat" pull
instead of
git pull that fails
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://xxxap01/xxxApps/xxxPreview/_git/xxxPreview/
This is my first question so foregive me and help me approve quality, thanks.
How can I make my Windows credentials work and get rid of cumbersome usage of PAT in every request?
The git repo is located on an on-prem Azure DevOps Server 2020 (due to governmental requirements) which I connect to using VPN client. Once connected, I can no longer access www/internet.
I can access https://xxxap01/xxxApps using my local browser but are of course prompted to enter my 'mysecuredomainaccount@securedomain.dk' and 'password' (the SSL cert is self signed but has been add to cert store of "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" (User).
DevOps Server is hosted on a Windows Server 2019, and the IIS IIS authentication - Basic Auth is not installed
I have added a generic credentials in the "Credential Manager" using the standard git syntax git:https://xxxap01/xxxApps and same 'mysecuredomainaccount@securedomain.dk' and 'password'
- git credential-manager unconfigure
- git config --global credential.helper wincred
- git credential-manager azure-repos list https://xxxap01/xxxApps
OK: Shows
..> (global) -> mysecuredomainaccount@securedomain.dk
Running
git pull
results in this error in the log file gcm-diagnose.log:
