Dynamic pickList (using SourceDefinitions) is broken.

[mithunshanbhag]

There are a bunch of Azure-related deployment tasks that support dynamic pickLists (via sourceDefinitions).

Currently all of them seem to be broken, since the pickLists don't populate when I choose the Azure subscription (service endpoint with manual creds or service principal).

Observing under fiddler, all REST calls seems to be generating HttpRequestExceptions.

Can anyone please take a look? Please let me know if you need more details.

From an internal mail thread:

"Dynamic picklist (using SourceDefinitions) are only supported for Azure connection using certificate. The functionality for manual creds and service principal isn’t there yet, we are planning to add it soon."

[bryanmacfarlane]

Who was on that internal mail thread? A 500 is never an acceptable answer

[mithunshanbhag]

@bryanmacfarlane: Added you on the internal mail thread.

[roniga]

The azure tasks currently only support "Certificate" based authentication for picklist. We are working on SPN and credentials based authentication support. It should be coming up in next deployment.

The support for drop down with SPN is available. I am marking this thread closed. Feel free to re-open if you think the issue still needs attention.
