Web Hook Error: Basic authentication requires a secure connection to the server. (500)

[thoaingan]

Our VSTS Service Hook was working for a while, then it stopped about a week ago (can't find any older history). History showed "Internal Server Error (500)" from our TFS Aggregator Web App. When performing a test, the error displayed is "Basic authentication requires a secure connection to the server. (500)".

Nothing was changed on the Azure Web App side that we know of.

We deleted the web app and service hook subscriptions and re-created everything to no avail.

Please help. Thanks in advance!

For what it's worth, I installed another VSTS extension called "VSTS Rollup" (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=canarysautomationspvtltd.vstsrollup#) that works similarly to this extension, using the same exact PAT to authenticate with VSTS, and it works fine.

I turned on logging and found these entries in the Web App application log. The URI that it's complaining about is valid. However, I see that there's an outstanding PR #21 that seems to address this very specific 404 error.

I incorporated the changes in PR #21, rebuilt and uploaded the modified DLL to our Web App, and that seems to fix our 404 & 500 errors. Please consider merging PR #21.

That patch is superseded by the changes in the develop branch. I suggest to consider that version.

develop is broken, I cannot get it to compile

Tfs-aggregator-webhooks is deprecated.

Tfs-aggregator/develop now contains the latest bits of the webhooks solution.

It requires tfs 2018 update 3 to be installed locally to build.

👍

might be interested to know that the "Deploy to Azure" picks the -webhooks project

We are focusing our energies on https://github.com/tfsaggregator/aggregator-cli as the solution for VSTS/ADO and the cloud
