How to add AzureDevOps Server account to Dev Home?

[soroshsabz]

I do not see AD User input for Azure Account

I think this issue is not complement yet, and must be reopen

@soroshsabz Please note that this issue is labeled "Fix-Committed", which if you hover over it says that the fix has been checked in, but may take 3-4 weeks before it is in a release. The issue is also in milestone 0.7, meaning the feature is coming out in 0.7, our release next month.

@dkbennett

We did some work in the latest release to support entering on-prem ADO server URIs when setting up widgets, etc. but need some validation in the wild.

If you're interested in connecting to ADO Server deployments via Dev Home, please try with the latest version of the app and let us know your experience.

[soroshsabz]

@mikebattista I use 0.1201.442.0 and 0.700.442.0 for Dev Home Azure Extension and I do not find anything related to ADO Server

[krschau]

@dkbennett FYI

[mikebattista]

The test flow would be to connect your Microsoft or Work account that you use in ADO Server to Dev Home in Dev Home Settings -> Accounts -> Add -> Azure then set up an ADO widget on the Dev Home dashboard that points to a URL in your ADO Server.

[soroshsabz]

As you can see in below, I click on Work or school account

But this is open Microsoft SSO, instead of open a dialog to enter my AzureDevOps Server local address

I try cannot access link and get below error (Of course, this was pointless from the beginning(

[soroshsabz]

@mikebattista We need one page to enter Azure DevOps Server local address, and then add credential, and gain access to our account

[mikebattista]

You need to connect your account first. ADO Server flow and auth is different than GitHub Enterprise Server flow.

If you used an external email address when initially connecting to ADO, that should be a "Microsoft account" under the hood (not a "Work or school account"). If you used an organizational account with its own domain, that would be a "Work or school account".

Azure Devops Server is not tied in any way to an online account. Authentication is based on the local Active Directory domain.
In the past, when using a tool connecting to ADS/TFS, we had windows like this:

Eventually followed by a credentials prompt.

This was the place we used to enter the Azure Devops Server collection URL. I think that's the part missing here.

Just wanted to add that our on premises DevOps server is attached to an AD domain that isn't attached to our laptop. We have to authenticate everytime. There is zero trust between the two domains.

[mikebattista]

Thanks. For GitHub Enterprise Server, we have a flow where you enter the server and then enter a PAT. Would that flow work in your ADO Server scenarios?

[BryanAldrich]

Yes, developers could make a PAT and authenticate that way. Since Dev Home doesn't do any sql access, (which for us is.. complicated..) just a plain PAT is simplest.
