How to log into local team foundation server.

[staticcat]

The examples on the main page show how to log into visual studio online. What is the process for logging into an uploading a task for use on an team foundation server local installation?

I am currently stuck at logging into the tfs local machine with the command tfx login. Even using basic auth fails to log me in.

Are you using version 0.1.9 of the npm module? We added support for on prem yesterday.

I assume you've gone through the process of enabling basic creds for your local installation. There's a little guide here:

As Teddy noted, support was added yesterday for in prem for basic auth. ntlm coming in a month or so

Just to be clear for others that might come across this:

• Basic Auth needs to be added to the TFS Website under IIS
• Basic Auth needs to be added to the TFS virtual directory under IIS
• Other Auth types are allowed to remain and don't need to be removed (under IIS for both website and virtual directory)
• The prompt "Enter collection url" requires the full url to the collection in question, even if it is the default collection.
• The prompt "Enter username" requires the domain and user name to be entered in the format "user@domain"

@teddyward and @bryanmacfarlane thanks for the help on this.
