Basic auth and HTTPS

See original GitHub issue

Using basic auth with an HTTPS endpoint cause the following error :

tfx login --auth-type basic --service-url https://server/tfs --username user --password pwd
Connection failed. Check your internet connection & collection URL.
Message: unable to get local issuer certificate

It seems to be the same problem I had with Git : http://blogs.msdn.com/b/phkelley/archive/2014/01/20/adding-a-corporate-or-self-signed-certificate-authority-to-git-exe-s-store.aspx So how I can specify my certificate file ?

(Trace doesn’t help, CLI version is 0.3.3)

@grawcho - note that this tfs-cli issue and “cross platform automation system” are a bit orthogonal. The new vsts-agent supports ntlm across platforms so you should be unblocked on the automation system side: https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-agent

Any update? This still appears to be a problem. And asking users to send their enterprise domain credentials across the network unencrypted when using on premises TFS seems like a rather large security hole that Microsoft has not addressed and the problem has been known for over 6 months.
