authentication failed #61

Closed userjeff3 closed 5 years ago

userjeff3 commented 6 years ago

I'm using TFS 2018 on-premise. I don't understand why there are authentication requirements for this task as I've never had to fool with any such thing before. Anyway, the error is: "Authentication with TFS Server failed. Please check your settings." I've read the overview, enabled "Allow scripts to access oauth token", and tried every option to no avail. From the log of the latest attempt:

Hi @userjeff3

The reason why the Authentication needs to be specified is because we are accessing the VSTS/TFS REST API which requires authentication. Also you might want to access a different server than the one that triggered your build, so you need to be able to specify what authentication method you want.

Regarding your issue, can you please try to use OAuth Authentication and make sure that both the username and the password/token field are completly empty and try again?

userjeff3 commented 6 years ago

Thanks for the explanation. My setup is as simple as it gets, one project on one server.

The first thing I tried was oauth with no user or password. It sounds like I need to debug the system.accesstoken.

I deleted the task, added it back anew (in order to reset everything to defaults), specified the build definition and changed to oauth token. Here's the results of that latest attempt:

Hmm that is strange, i can't see anything special about your setup. One thing that comes to my mind as you are using TFS that you can try is to set the Ignore SSL Certificate Errors option under Basic Configuration.

Why I was wondering about the empty password is basically the part of your log after the username: 2018-03-22T16:42:48.8570568Z ##[debug]username=null 2018-03-22T16:42:48.8570568Z ##[debug]********=null 2018-03-22T16:42:48.8570568Z

Normally that should be the password field, however it looks strangely formatted. That's why I thought there might be some variable or something in that is causing some issues when authenticating...

userjeff3 commented 6 years ago

I set the ignore option, same result. I echoed some variables: SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN = **** SYSTEM_ENABLEACCESSTOKEN = true How else can I test the system access token?

huserben commented 6 years ago

Hi

to be honest I'm a bit puzzled by this, as there is usually no problem with the OAuth token.

What you could try is to use a Personal Access Token and see if that works to narrow down the issue...if it works it means something with the OAuth is wrong, if not it might be a more general issue.

Sorry for the inconvenience though.

What about basic authentication? Nope, same result:

I'll try PAT next.

huserben commented 6 years ago

Yeah for Basic you actually need to enable it specifically so I went for the PAT version as it is, as far as I know, less effort to configure.

If PAT fails as well I'm trying to upload a new version tomorrow that at least should include more logging information so we can actually figure out what is happening and it's really the authentication that causes problems and not something else.

userjeff3 commented 6 years ago

Same result with a PAT. Thanks for a new debug version! But I'll be on vacation next week so I'll have to wait until I can try it.

huserben commented 6 years ago

Ok, so my feeling than is that something else seems not to work as it should...

I will let you know here once I uploaded a new version with increased logging.

huserben commented 6 years ago

Hi @userjeff3

I hope you can/could enjoy your vacation. I uploaded in the meanwhile a new version which has some improved logging when you start your build with the system.debug variable set to true.

Could you please try this out once you are back and send me the log files produced by the task. This should give at least a hint on what is going wrong.

huserben commented 6 years ago

Hi @ushastyy

I see in the log that you use Personal Access Token, but there is nothing set in the "Password" field. Did you mean to use the OAuth authentication (then the password field has to be left empty), if using a PAT you actually need to specify the token that shall be used.

ushastyy commented 6 years ago

@huserben, yes, you are right, I have copied the log from wrong path. But the situation with OAuth was the same. And I found out why. I had to enable "Allow Scripts to Access OAuth Token". Maybe it is answer for userjeff3 to.

Edit: Moved your additional question to separate issue to keep this discussion on topic, see: https://github.com/huserben/TfsExtensions/issues/62

userjeff3 commented 6 years ago

Thanks for the new version! Strangely, authorization seems to be working now. However, there's a new error:

huserben commented 6 years ago

Hi

ok that's good to hear. Hmm could you provide me the complete log of the Task after setting the system.debug variable to true? Then I might be able to draw some conclusion on what the issue might be

userjeff3 commented 6 years ago

As requested. Thanks again for your excellent support.

huserben commented 6 years ago

Hi

thanks for the log. I thought it might be an issue that it can't find a build definition with the name you supplied "scheduler". However I double checked and if that happens we actually get a proper message back that it wasn't able to find something.

For me it looks that for some reason it fails to even send the Request to the TFS API. If you compare with the code that normally runs you see this:

build/definitions?api-version=2.0&name=Whatever
Result:
{"count":0,"value":[]}
task result: Failed
Did not find any build definition with this name: Whatever

So it fails right on sending the request itself. Could you try once if you can execute the same request manually (for example via browser or a tool like Postman). Just query the following URL and see what is coming back from the server: http://xxxx:8080/tfs/EPC%20dev/ASR-TRS/_apis/build/definitions?api-version=2.0&name=scheduler

Hi thanks for the log. Thats quite strange, so you actually get the definition manually.

Could you maybe give it a try with the newest version of the Task (2.8.0) with system.debug set to true? I added some error handling for the request and maybe we get out a better error message to figure out where the problem lies.

If you can do it manually from your machine, the error most likely is in the configuration of the agent. Maybe there is some firewall or something blocking it? Or do you need some proxy to access the server? This for example seemed to have been the problem in this issue: https://github.com/huserben/TfsExtensions/issues/59

huserben commented 6 years ago

Hmm looking at the message now maybe this "double escaped url" is a problem. I just quickly googled it and came up with this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/942076/error-message-when-you-visit-a-web-site-that-is-hosted-on-iis-7-0-http Maybe that's worth a try.

Other than that, do you have access to the build agent that you are running the build on. If so, could you please log in there (e.g. via rdp) and try to send the request manually from the agent and see if you get a response.

userjeff3 commented 6 years ago

I changed the double escaped URL configuration as instructed in the link. Same result.

The build agent is on the same server as TFS. Everything is within our organization's intranet. I don't know how to send the request manually.

We do have a new security team. I wonder if they've fiddled with something.

huserben commented 6 years ago

Oh ok, too bad. Honestly I've never seen that error before and it feels like it has to be some setting on your TFS/IIS side (as it works on other TFS instances).

To send the request manually, just log on to the build agent, start a browser and open the url as you did in https://github.com/huserben/TfsExtensions/issues/61#issuecomment-379928418

Otherwise maybe you could check with your security team. I'm not really familiar with setting up and configuring TFS/IIS.

huserben commented 6 years ago

Hi @userjeff3

was there any development on your issue? Or is it still the same problem?

userjeff3 commented 6 years ago

Sorry, I've been pulled away onto other projects and haven't been able to try your last suggestion.

huserben commented 6 years ago

Allright, just let me know in case you find something else out and I could assist in any way.

generik0 commented 5 years ago

HI @huserben Great TfsExtensions. Thanks a bunch!!! Weird thing is, i have to specify a PAT when triggering a build within the same collection. The OAuth does not access the authorization. It there no way to get it to work without speficifying and deslaying may OAuth or PAT? Do i need a special setup on the tfs to get the default OAuth to be accespted?

huserben commented 5 years ago

Hi @generik0

I think OAuth should work out of the box, you just need to make sure that the build definition has access to it (see the docs for more info).

huserben commented 5 years ago

Closed due to inactivity - please reopen if it's still an issue
