When a user clicks on "URL to file" on Artifactory, although he is logged in, Artifactory again asks for the credential and user must provide that.
Is there any solution to skip this when user already logged in?
In our case we are using SSO and user does not have specific credential for Artifactory. Due to the security concerns we cannot allow anonymous access so this is not the desired solution for this problem.
I read the Artifactory documentation but I could not find a proper solution for this issue.
Assuming the Artifactory version is 7.x, it is expected behaviour. The reason is that the Artifactory UI is accessed as "https://myartifactory.com/ui" here the "/ui" context holds the user credential cookie and the context changes from "/ui" to "/artifactory" when the user clicks on "URL to file" therefore the credential cookie is not shared from "/ui" to "/artifactory".
This Native UI is included in version 7.21.3, if the Artifactory version is lower than 7.21.3, an upgrade would help.
we should change artifactory.redirect.native.browser.requests.to.ui to true.

I've created a Github app with the option "Request user authorization (OAuth) during installation".
When a user requests his admin to install the app, the admin accepts and gets back to the app. I then get a url like:
http://localhost:3000/auth/github/callback?code=a22757013d09ccc5f6ed&installation_id=18334019&setup_action=install&state=MYAPPSTATE
BUT when the user Authorize & Request and he gets back to the app I only get a url like so:
http://localhost:3000/auth/github/callback?setup_action=request&state=MYAPPSTATE
My question is, how to get Github to give me the code parameter so I can know which user has requested to install the github app ?
Thank you 🙏
Apparently this has been fixed now https://github.com/pre-commit-ci/issues/issues/70#issuecomment-899129055
Here is the response I got from GitHub support:
The code parameter is only returned for authorization during installation. There isn't a way to generate one for the user who has requested an admin to approve, authorise and install.
As an organization owner/admin, you should see on the GitHub App review install page the user who has made this request during the application installation. You can also check the integration_installation_request.create logs in the organization to find the user who has requested the installation
We've got an install of Azure Devops server that currently authenticates against our active directory server and authentication works, but it appears to do so by means of browser basic authentication (the browser modal prompt that asks for a simple user name and password).
I'm wondering if there is some way to configure authentication such that users that have never logged in, actually get a login page... not just the basic authentication prompt in the browser.
I appreciate any input, I've used and administered azure devops in the cloud for a LONG time, but the devops server stuff I'm new to.
NOTE: I've played with IIS settings for authentication (enabling and disabling basic authentication and forms auth etc, but nothing really seemed to help there)
it appears to do so by means of browser basic authentication (the
browser modal prompt that asks for a simple user name and password).
I'm wondering if there is some way to configure authentication such
that users that have never logged in, actually get a login page... not
just the basic authentication prompt in the browser.
What's the login page do you mean?
1.If you mean the login page to connect to TFS web portal, as I know using basic prompt with username+password is the only appraoch.
Web Portal:
Only logic page:
2.But if you mean something used for authentication when accessing the code. I think you must be familiar with PAT which is widely used in Azure Devops Service. IIS Basic Authentication is not recommended. You can check Enabling IIS Basic Authentication invalidates using Personal Access Tokens and Use the TFS Cross Platform Command Line with TFS using basic authentication or personal access tokens (PATs).
Hope it helps to resolve your puzzle :)
So after lots of research, I found that in the differences between azure devops server and azure devops services documentation. In this documentation it states that it uses windows authentication, and you will never be presented with any login experience.
I'd vote that this should be something that be configured to show a login screen, as sometimes we want to log in as users other than the users we logged into the machine as.
I have my own private organization and repositories.
I also have multiple directories and all of them work except for the "Microsoft account" directory.
I am able to log into Azure Devops no problem using the Microsoft account directory.
I see my organization and I can go through my repositories, agents, pipelines, everything.
However, I can't change anything. All I get is the error or screens that don't load fully.
Its like its in read only mode.
I went into user settings to check permissions and it lets me in but only so far. It stops loading user lists after selecting groups.
It shows me groups and permissions for everything, however.
When I try and generate a PAT, the screen sits there and says "Loading Tokens..."
The error I see everywhere and in the network responses is:
$id: "1"
innerException: null
message: "TF400813: The user '' is not authorized to access this resource."
typeName: "Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Server.UnauthorizedRequestException, Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Server"
typeKey: "UnauthorizedRequestException"
errorCode: 0
eventId: 3000
Exactly like that, nothing there between the quotes.
It also shows up in Red text with just this message:
TF400813: The user '' is not authorized to access this resource.
To resolve this I have done the following:
Logged out of devops entirely, which seems to log me out of several services.
Switched between my AD accounts while logged in.
I've rebooted my machine(I first started seeing this in VS so I updated and rebooted as part of that)
Anything I'm missing here?
message: "TF400813: The user '' is not authorized to access this
resource.
This looks more like the anonymous access error as you said that there's nothing between the quotes.
In azure devops, e.g PAT generated, most services have themselves security module. When user want to make use of them, it must pass the firstly identity check. If for system, your visit and operate are identified as anonymous, it will look like read-only.
We ever handled such issue and found it due to the proxy blocking the traffic, which also lead him to get the same error when accessing azure devops with vscode.(Similar with yours)
You need confirm is there any proxy configured in your side.
If there's no proxy set but still has this issue. Since Stackflow is a open forum but this is a identity issue. I strongly suggest you contact here and then attach below info also:
Activity id: You could see this from the Headers of Network. For our backend, we could use this id to check the exactly stack
trace.
Org name and account name.
Fiddler trace. The mostly useful info we need is fiddler trace.
I tried a few options like setting the PAT in interactive screen or via environment variable or by storing it in a file and echoing that file content to the az devops login or az pipeline create command as mentioned in
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/accounts/use-personal-access-tokens-to-authenticate?view=azure-devops&viewFallbackFrom=vsts&tabs=preview-page#create-personal-access-tokens-to-authenticate-access
However none of them worked. Finally it worked after I changed the token (PAT) in the file
/home//.azure/azuredevops/personalaccesstoken.
Try to sign out and the sign in again,
it's worked for me.
I added a new build source on myget.org using VSTS, but MyGet is throwing this error:
The thing is, the URL shouldn't be incorrect... it was setup by MyGet itself, since I used the wizard.
What could be going on here?
You need to specify the authentication information.
Log on to your VSTS
Click your account > Security
Select Alternate authentication credentials (Personal access token is ok too)
Check enable alternate authentication credentials and create an alternate authentication credentials
Log on to your MyGet > Select Build Services > Click Edit to edit your build service
Type user name and password (if you are using Personal Access Token, the user name can be any, such as test, user etc…)
Start build
I'm kind of new with websphere. I was following an internal guide for setting up one of our company apps in websphere, but I changed one parameter in the admin console and after restarting the server, we cannot access with the administration console.
I checked the first option, when before the second one was, with user admin, and password admin also. Now, because It says "Server identity generated automatically" I have no idea what combination of user and password I need to enter in the administration console..
The administration console I'm referring to is the one located in server:port/ibm/console.
Thanks, this is really a serious problem for me, I would really appreciate any help I can get...
You should still be able to use whatever password you were using for admin user before making the change. Server user id is not used for restricting access to administrative console (see What is security property 'Server user identity' used for in Websphere Application Server?).
Nonetheless, since you can't access admin console at the moment (I'm assuming you mean that admin colsole login page shows up but you can't get admin user authenticated due to wrong password), first thing I'd suggest is turning of global security, so that you can use admin console to fix your settings and re-enable security. Once security is turned off, you won't be asked for a password during admin console login. Changing security settings in WebSphere Application Server with wsadmin technote gives step by step instructions.
If you are not sure about what password you have used for admin user, you must reset the password in the user repository you have configured (for example if you've configured LDAP, you must reset password at LDAP), before enabling security. If you are using a federated repository (this is default if you've not changed it), most probably admin user resides in file based repository, which is the first member of federated repository. In this case, you can just follow steps at How to reset the administrator's password in the file registry technote to reset your password. Otherwise you can try alternative documented at Updating your WAS administrator password (the link is from Lotus documentation but still is applicable).
Given that you have the command line 'xmlstarlet' in your terminal and,
WAS_HOME = Is your Websphere root location
PROFILENAME = IS your
profile's name
CELLNAME = Is your cell's name
Then,
xmlstarlet edit --update "/security:Security[#enabled='true']/#enabled" --value "false" $WAS_HOME/profiles/$PROFILENAME/config/cells/$CELLNAME/security.xml > /tmp/security.xml
cp /tmp/security.xml $WAS_HOME/profiles/$PROFILENAME/config/cells/$CELLNAME/security.xml
Summary: You are simply editing the correct security.xml file by changing the enabled="true" attribute to enabled="false" programmatically using xmlstarlet. Note that sed,awk,ed and other GNU tools lack the necessary ability to properly deal with the nested tree structure of XML.
