问题
I'm installing the Microsoft Deployment Agent 2013 onto an Azure VM. In order to connect to my Release Management Server ( Visual Studio Online in my case ) I need to authenticate either as local system or with a custom account:
So with my credentials - I am validated to use the Release Management Service, but I cannot connect with them to the Release Management Server:
I, 2015/02/04, 16:50:11.245, User [ME] is system, Admin
I, 2015/02/04, 16:50:11.260, Validated account to use as identity for Release Management Services.
I, 2015/02/04, 16:50:11.260, Validating Release Management Server for Team Foundation Server 2013...
E, 2015/02/04, 16:50:11.448, Got a non-OK status code of NonAuthoritativeInformation from http://whatever.visualstudio.com/...
Of course - the credentials with which I login to the box are not the same as with which I have access to RM server. So you I figured I had 2 options:
- Add an identical account with which I have access to RM server to the local box: didn't work, my ...@hotmail.com username is too long.
- Add the credentials of the box to Visual Studio Online: didn't work, it needs to send out that invitation e-mail.
The other option is of course to use Release Management without the agent. Which uses remote powershell. That didn't work either - the deployment fails with:
Connecting to remote server boxcloudapp.net failed with the following error message : Access is denied. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.
From what I read, I suspect this is because the powershell runs over SSL and offers the self signed cert to Release Management which is not trusted as root CA.
What am I doing wrong here? It can't be that hard, right?
回答1:
With Visual Studio Online you neither need a Release Management server, nor a deployment agent.
If you open up the Release Management Client and connect to https://youraccount.visualstudioonline.com you will be automatically configured for Release Management Online. You can then link the RM online server to your azure account and deploy without an agent.
