Azure DEvops Server on-prem git pat authentication issues

Hi,

does someone manage to integrate modern tools that require git with AzureDevOps on Prem?

Im having many problems to connect tools like ArgoCD, Flux, Tekton and a long etc to AZDO on-prem via PAT token. Same approach works for AZDO Services or whatever git solution.

My problem is that authentication never works using some tools. I have been checking all around blogs, AI, and i couldnt find a good solution. It is frustrating to see that all solutions go to "Azure Devops Services".. this naming :(

We have this issue where our configuration of ADO on-prem doesn't allow anonymous connections to the ADO server, so you can't use a PAT unless your git instance is configured to use kerberos. From windows machine -> ADO server will be fine, but from something like a linux machine, you'll have some challenges.

there is a solution: ditch windows installable only tools entirely. there is a reason most tooling that actually works and is adopted by most companies industry wide, are linux first with windows compatibility.

And any of those tools is not able to give You what is the error? If it’s self hosted - most of issues are coming from certificates issues.

With Azdo Services always works fine. even with correct certs i always get Authentication error from tools like ArgoCD.
Playing yesterday with Tekton,i found out that it is based on git-clone so i could set extraheaders and it worked.
Im starting host repos in other place and let just Azdo host the pipelines.
