Can Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) be configured to use sshPublicKey ldap attributes

  • 772

We have a very mixed environment as many enterprises should, our users are in Microsoft AD, our servers are a mix of windows and linux.

As such, we use the sshPublicKey ldap attribute to store ssh keys for linux authentication and gitlab.

Does TFS allow you to specify this ldap attribute for accessing the TFS Hosted git repo

Running TFS 2015

This is the version of git packaged with TFS, and not any external git repos.

  1. If you are accessing Git in TFS

    No, you have to use the TFS provided SSH Key. TFS will create SSH keys for users so that they can access the content.

    enter image description here

    This is built I to TFS. Users that want to access Git repos in TFS should go to their profile and create one.!

    note: If your ldap SSH key is linked to an AD account you can give that AD account permission to TFS.

    If you are accessing GitLab from Team Build in TFS

    Yes, you can do one of two things:

    1. Add the SSH Key to the Build Variables - you can then call out to GitLab using that variable.
    2. Create a GitLab Service Credential - Using a extension you can add a GitLab connection to your Team Project and use the same creds with any build.

    If you mean something else then please update your question for clarity.
