Connecting to AzureDevOps - OAuth (New Gateway)

[Anonymous]

Morning, 

Woke up to see the Gateway has now changed and introduced some new QoL fixes which is great, but now my OAuth connections won't authenticate when they would yesterday. Does anyone have a similar issue/is there a fix I'm missing? 

Also, do we now have to refresh each connection individually to see the status? Seems like an oversight if so. 

TIA

Matt

Hi @Anonymous ,

Not sure about your issue. Are you unable to use the OAuth authentication method? Are there any error messages reported when configuring the credentials? 

As far as I know, if you are using the Azure DevOps Data connector, then you don't need a on-premises data gateway.

Hi @v-kkf-msft 

I'm not sure if it was just a transient issue. 

I tried to delete and recreate the connection and it wouldn't create it and kept stating 'This operation is not supported for a relative URI.' I had checked the refresh locally and double checked my permissions etc and everything seemed to be fine. In the end the solution was to uncheck the validate credentials option when creating the connection - after that it completed connection creation and I could use the same credentials I was trying to use before to refresh my model through the Gateway. 

Weird one!
