Fails to detect dev.azure.com hosted repositories about git-credential-manager-for-mac-and-linux HOT 27 OPEN

I agree that it's odd that this hasn't been fixed yet.
As a workaround I managed to get it to work by changing the domain of my repo to use visualstudio.com.
I changed:
git clone https://<account>@dev.azure.com/<account>/<project>/_git/<repo>
To:
git clone https://<account>.visualstudio.com/<project>/_git/<repo>

from git-credential-manager-for-mac-and-linux.

I can also confirm. I was able to work around it by reverting back to the <org>.visualstudio.com address for my clone. There will need to be a fix for this going forward, though.

from git-credential-manager-for-mac-and-linux.

The problem is in https://github.com/Microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Mac-and-Linux/blob/f332b8068cbbc0ef8e5d6956db44394f9e48be84/src/main/java/com/microsoft/alm/authentication/BaseVsoAuthentication.java#L258-L269

There is a strict check for detecting visualstudio.com domain. If you try to do any operation with dev.azure.com domain (now by default on Azure DevOps) the StringHelper.endsWithIgnoreCase check will fail and revert to basic authorization.

You should also add dev.azure.com domain. The best approach would be to get all the domain lists from remote endpoint, but I'm not sure if such endpoint exists.

I could make a pull request if you're accepting changes.

Was struggling with this for hours until I found this issue. Changing to visualstudio.com also did the trick for me:

git remote set-url origin https://<account>.visualstudio.com/<project>/_git/<repo>

Sorry for the lack of traction here. As several of you have discovered, you can either use the org.visualstudio.com to allow the credential manager to continue to authenticate, or you can use SSH, which is what I'd recommend on both macOS and Linux.

We're currently building a GCM on .NET Core that we expect to have a public preview on macOS later this month which will resolve this issue. I would still recommend SSH usage in all but very specific scenarios once that is available though.

Need a fix for this ASAP. Any news?

from git-credential-manager-for-mac-and-linux.

Same here, still waiting for a fix. How has this not been addressed yet?

from git-credential-manager-for-mac-and-linux.

👌

changing to visualstudio.com scheme works, but you will also have to manually visit https://microsoft.com/devicelogin and enter the code.

from git-credential-manager-for-mac-and-linux.

Still a problem, FWIW. How does something like this kick around for months?

@rgiese Obviously Microsoft don't care much about this product... it's sad, but there you go.

from git-credential-manager-for-mac-and-linux.

@mjcheetham thanks for reply. I will give it a shot. Will keep you posted here. And also file another issue.

from git-credential-manager-for-mac-and-linux.

Can confirm. Is any workaround availiable?

from git-credential-manager-for-mac-and-linux.

Add the following to gitconfig could call GCM4ML while interacting with dev.azure.com.

[credential "dev.azure.com"]
       authority = MSA

However, it can't complete the authentication with the following error info.

Fatal: java.lang.Error encountered.  Details:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: https://dev.azure.com/_apis/connectiondata

In my opinion, the problem is in https://github.com/Microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Mac-and-Linux/blob/7f954d807e45be91798420ba54475b007ee5862f/src/main/java/com/microsoft/alm/authentication/VsoAzureAuthority.java#L354

Azure DevOps uses dev.azure.com/<org> instead of <org>.visualstudio.com as the new naming rule, so the URI should be filled with organization name. Unit tests should also be changed.

from git-credential-manager-for-mac-and-linux.

Workaround without switching domain and without SSH:
I've used Personal Access Token instead of SSH successfully.

In my case the Git prompt was "Password for https://[email protected]/:" So I created token name ondrejgr . And I used the generated token as a password.

Weird that his is still an issue, dev.azure.com is available for a long time and this issue already exists for 5 months.

The weird thing is that I wanted to resolve this by not using GCM, just creating a PAT-token on dev.azure.com, but even when the token is valid for 1 year, the next day I need to generate a new one. I guess it has something to do with my keystore settings. But GCM always was a relieve for authenticating with visualstudio.com. I now reverted the domain name to account.visualstudio.com until this issue is resolved.

Still facing this issue.

@aaronbjork any view on when we can get a fix for this?

from git-credential-manager-for-mac-and-linux.

This is crazy, how is this not fixed? :(

We're currently building a GCM on .NET Core that we expect to have a public preview
on macOS later this month which will resolve this issue. I would still recommend SSH usage
in all but very specific scenarios once that is available though.

@jrbriggs who is this public preview for, then? Why bother implementing GCM for Mac at all?

On Windows, the GCM is a much better experience than SSH or personal access tokens. GCM prompts for a password that "just works" without having to go read instructions about which URL to visit or which text file to edit.

For Mac/Linux, is the underlying issue that the OS provides no easy way to display a Web View that can perform the single-sign on interaction? (In other words, those OS's expect you to compile Chromium from source code and distribute the binary with your application, and accept responsibility for any security issues that this implies?)

from git-credential-manager-for-mac-and-linux.

For those of you on macOS, please go try GCM Core's macOS preview release

from git-credential-manager-for-mac-and-linux.

@jrbriggs I did install preview release. And it works for azure but breaks every damn git repo I have. Bit bucket, github, gitlab you name it. How to remove it and revert the settings ?

[..] it works for azure but breaks every damn git repo I have. Bit bucket, github, gitlab you name it.

@kunjee17 I'm sorry to hear this. If you wouldn't mind, please could you open an issue on the GCM Core project, including a description of any error messages and collect the GCM trace logs (the issue template describes how to do this)?

We would like to fix the problems you're experiencing.

How to remove it and revert the settings?

To uninstall the GCM Core preview, please run the following uninstall script from Terminal:

$ sudo /usr/local/share/gcm-core/uninstall.sh

If you installed the GCM4ML "Java GCM" (this product) via Homebrew, you'll need to re-link it, and then reconfigure it as the Git credential helper by running the following commands:

$ brew link git-credential-manager
$ git-credential-manager install

from git-credential-manager-for-mac-and-linux.

@mjcheetham I installed 2.0.4 version again, via brew. It started working for now. Thanks for helping.

Was struggling with this for hours until I found this issue. Changing to visualstudio.com also did the trick for me:

git remote set-url origin https://<account>.visualstudio.com/<project>/_git/<repo>

This Solution Works for me only change the Link in this way

git remote set-url origin https://<account>@dev.azure.com/<organization>/<project>/_git/<repository>

Also I have to change the Alias for the account to allow Special characters in the account name

from git-credential-manager-for-mac-and-linux.

@Jucer74 please let me know what you mean by "Alias for the account to allow Special characters in the account name" ? i have a dot "." in my account name like ("username1.XY") to login windows.

Sorry for my language but the same shit happens with this junk on MacOS. No prompt is displayed, it just asks for an organization password.
