Randomly 401 errors accessing AZ Devops artifacts

Hello!

We are experiencing random 401 errors during maven download artifacts.
The token is valid. It happens randomly. We're not sure whether there is something wrong on Azure Devops. Is anybody experiencing the same issue?

Thanks!

    Random 401 errors in Azure DevOps artifacts could be due to token issues or network instability. Try these steps:

    Check Token: Ensure the token is valid and not expiring mid-process.
    Use Credential Provider: Install the Azure Artifacts Credential Provider for seamless Maven auth.
    Verify Network: Check for unstable connections or proxy misconfigurations.
    Debug Logs: Use mvn -X for detailed logs.
    Check Azure Status: Visit Azure Status.
    If issues persist, contact Azure Support.

  • Try verify on below:

     

    • Token Validity: Ensure that the token being used is valid and hasn't expired. Sometimes tokens can become invalid due to various reasons.
    • Permissions: Verify that the account accessing the artifacts has the necessary permissions. You can check this in the Azure DevOps portal.
    • Credential Provider: Make sure the Azure Artifacts NuGet Credential Provider is installed and configured correctly. This is especially important if you're using command-line tools.
    • Configuration Issues: Double-check your configuration files (e.g., nuget.config) to ensure they are correctly set up.
    • Browser Issues: Try accessing the artifacts in an incognito or private browsing window to rule out any browser-related issues.
