End of SSH-RSA support for Azure Repos
Azure DevOps Blog
by Bohdan Janousek

Azure Repos provides two methods for users to access a git repository in Azure Repos – HTTPS and SSH. To use SSH, you need to create a key pair using one of the supported encryption methods. In the past we’ve been supporting only SSH-RSA and we’ve asked users to enable the SSH-RSA here. This is not required to be done anymore as in 2022 we’ve added support for the RSA-SHA2-256 and RSA-SHA2-512 to Azure DevOps Service. Later that year, the same support was also added to Azure DevOps Server 2022 and in August 2023 to Azure DevOps Server 2020 and 2019. The relevant release notes are linked here ..read more

Attachments are specified in the format [[ATTACHMENT|/path/to/file.ext]].

Regenerating secrets for Azure DevOps OAuth applications
Azure DevOps Blog
by Angel Wong
1M ago
You can now self-regenerate new client secrets as needed for apps made on top of the Azure DevOps’ OAuth platform. A valid, active client secret is critical for getting a refresh token to continue using your app. Once the secret has expired, you will also no longer be able to get access and refresh tokens needed to access Azure Devops APIs through this app. Why is this important? Client secrets have historically expired 5 years after the original app creation date. This new feature is useful for folks to get ahead of their app expiration and replace any soon-to-expire client secret before it r ..read more
