provide credentials in nuget command line parameters - nuget

Question

We have an nuget server hosted in azure that only allow certain people to create packages.
If I run nuget command line, I get asked to provide username and password. Is there a possibility to provide username and password in command line?
I tried something such as -User or -UserName, but I get Unknown option: '-User'
nuget push -Source "XXX" -ApiKey VSTS -noninteractive mypackage.*.nupkg -User myUsername
Is there a way to provide credentials from command line?

Answer 1

You have to change the NuGet.config you use. That is possible from the command line:
nuget sources add -Name "MyExample" -Source "XXX" -username "Y" -password "Z"
The password will be stored encrypted in the config file and can only be decrypted in the same user context as it was encrypted.

Answer 2

Use PAT (Personal Access Token) as the password. Make sure that PAT has packaging read and write permission.

If you're using an Azure Pipelines build file and trying to push to a private feed, you can use these snippets, just make sure to update $VARIABLES and indentation as-needed:
- task: NuGetAuthenticate#0
displayName: "Auth NuGet"
name: Nuget_Authenticate
inputs:
nuGetServiceConnections: '$PROJECT_SETTINGS_SERVICE_CONNECTION_NAME'
forceReinstallCredentialProvider: true
- task: NuGetCommand#2
name: pushNuGetPkg
displayName: "Push NuGet"
inputs:
command: 'push'
packagesToPush: '$(Build.Repository.Localpath)\Packages\*.nupkg'
nuGetFeedType: 'external'
publishFeedCredentials: '$ARTIFACTS_FEED_NAME'
publishVstsFeed: '$AZURE_ORGANIZATION_NAME/$ARTIFACTS_FEED_NAME'
You may also need to set these env-vars up in your ADO Project's Library -> Defaults section. Make sure the second one is securely masked with the Lock icon.
NUGET_CREDENTIALPROVIDER_SESSIONTOKENCACHE_ENABLED: true
VSS_NUGET_EXTERNAL_FEED_ENDPOINTS: {"endpointCredentials": [{"endpoint":"https://$AZURE_ORG_NAME.pkgs.visualstudio.com/_packaging/$ARTIFACTS_FEED_NAME/nuget/v3/index.json", "username":"$USERNAME", "password":"$PAT"}]}

Answer 4

For Using PAT(Personal Access Token) As Credential, you can use this code below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<packageSources>
<clear />
<add key="ChequeNuget" value="http://192.168.11.23:6700/DefaultCollection/Framework/_packaging/ChequeNuget/nuget/v3/index.json" />
</packageSources>
<packageSourceCredentials>
<ChequeNuget>
<add key="Username" value="ChequeNuget" />
<add key="Password" value="AQAAANCMnd8BFdERjHoAwE/Cl+sBAAAAFyfr+GavvkSgtlD+6FbrwQAAAAACAAAAAAAQZgAAAAEAACAAAABHbg6o2T6HHgjyud+purjkcwLoK1OH2tQI3TZc3T6wfgAAAAAOgAAAAAIAACAAAADnEEVK46WCJAwou/6Gb2ZudmbEJoPoFUqqyK32yf1OYUAAAABlnx7sfP37M/Kblf7VTN2lD3kTiKjRdr0GPCtrLBxGE6pXCbnBY/E1vIrP8S2Ci8HkMW6SgnSkvSACfliZWzoDQAAAAI0xvaQX2XsnjOuDExXf+tLzcdsDK9ZJNen/f4oMbWejc/zytb7D+oczJmrmRbvKBLBC9nGlK2/JfVZii39euMU=" />
<add key="ValidAuthenticationTypes" value="basic" />
</ChequeNuget>
</packageSourceCredentials>
</configuration>
For updating password use the command below:
nuget sources update -ValidAuthenticationTypes basic -Name ChequeNuget -UserName "ChequeNuget" -Password [Personal Access Token]
