Environment Details

• Pipeline

  • [*] Build

• Agent OS

  • [*] Windows

Description

The clone is not working since the PAT is added in the repo url (https://myPAT@server/repository.git) and not as a Authorization header (-c http.extraHeader="Authorization: Basic $B64Pat"), like described in the documentation : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/accounts/use-personal-access-tokens-to-authenticate?view=azure-devops&tabs=preview-page#use-a-pat

Thanks for reaching out @mgodlewski, what version of AzDo Server are you using, 2019?

[mgodlewski]

The version of AzDo Server is "Dev18.M170.6"

Thanks, best we can tell, Microsoft silently dropped support for auth in the userinfo subcomponent on the URI in newer versions of Server which is most likely what you're running into there.

Going to close this in favor of #86 and #85
