Credentials used by Source Control to connect to VSTS

NigelH

I am having trouble connecting to Visual Studio Team Services with SQL Source Control 5.5.6.5519.

When I try to connect, it throws the error "TF30064: You are not authorized to access the server." despite the fact that I am a project administrator. Is it trying to connect using my domain credentials and, if so, how can I give Source Control my Microsoft credentials to use instead?

I'm having a similar issue. Intially I used TFS with my personal id. Then the company created Ids for all and we've switched over. But the error I get when trying to link isn't getting me anywhere.

Hi,

Regarding the issue reported by the original poster: "TF30064: You are not authorized to access the server.", please try changing the configuration of SQL Source Control by follwoing the instructions on the section "How to connect without using Team Explorer" on the following document:

Thank you,

Regarding the second issue, SQL Source Control does not cache the VSTS credentials.
A way to force a new prompt for credentials is to delete the registry key where they are stored.

This will normally be within HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VSCommon\14.0\ClientServices\TokenStorage\VisualStudio\VssApp

Look for a key that mentions the server you are connecting (i.e. https://***.visualstudio.com)

I would advise extreme caution when doing this, you should backup your registry previously and if possible ask advice and assistance from your IS department.

None of this helps. I suddenly lost my ability to use source control. I unlinked DB's and have never been able to re-link them. No one in my organization can figure out why. 
The two solutions mentioned here do not work. the registry path doesn't even exist.

"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VSCommon\14.0\ClientServices\TokenStorage\VisualStudio\VssApp"
does not exist on my machine.

I am also getting the same issue. Were you able to find the issue / fix?
