tf exe authenticate for vsts

Question

I am trying to list all the workspaces and trying to authenticate tf.exe with vsts using the below commandline.

tf workspaces /Collection: https://[account].visualstudio.com/defaultcollection/login:USername,Password

The vsts account is backed by Azure Active Directory synced with an on-prem AD.

It works fine when I have connected to the vsts from visual studio and then running the above tf.exe command without the login switch.

But, when I use the login switch for tf.exe and use the same credentials that I use in visual studio it throws

TF30063: You are not authorized to access https://[account].visualstudio.com/defaultcollection
TF30063: You are not authorized to access https://[account].visualstudio.com/defaultcollection

Answer 1

You can use the Check in changes task in TFVC Build Tasks extension to check in changes.

Also, you can call TF command to check in changes during the build process, it uses build service account.

You can also create a console application to check in changes through TFS API (Workspace.CheckIn method), then call this app through command line.
