LFS: Git credentials for..XXXX..not found. Your username must be of the form DOMAIN \ user

Question

So, we are trying to configure GIT LFS using Indoor TFS, and we have a couple of errors. Errors and settings are described below:

Setup:

1) Internal TFS 2017 with Update 1

2) Visual Studio 2015 Update 3

3) Atlassian SourceTree (Git Client)

4) GIT LFS is installed on the developer's system

5) GIT Credential Manager for Windows (GCM)

Error:

• Go to Tools-> Options → [Git Tab] in SourceTree and select [Use Git System ], and trying to check the version of the file from the history will result in the following error:

git -lfs / 2.0.1 (GitHub; windows amd64; go 1.8; GIT 678cdbd4) gitversion 2.12.1.windows.1

$ git -lfs.exe filter-process Error loading object: Framework4.dll (Ef57f778c9fd50b27144784cd1df55b1b014d564ad6d8d726b156748219b8e5f)

2. Go to Tools-> Options → [Git Tab] in SourceTree and select [Use Embedded Git] and trying to check the version of the file from the history results in the following error:

git -lfs / 1.5.2 (GitHub, windows 386, go 1.7.3; GIT 547a06aa) gitversion 2.10.2.windows.1

What I researched and tried:

• It is recommended that you use the "GIT Credential Manager for Windows (GCM)" to store and manage credentials. This has been installed with the latest version of GIT. But the errors are still persisting.

• Tried without installing "GIT Credential Manager for Windows (GCM)", an error still occurs.

• Updated versions of GIT to the latest version. Tried git -lfs / 1.5.2 and git -lfs / 2.0.1. But don’t leave.

• Additional error information in the environment:

ENV:

Any ideas on how to fix the authentication / authentication errors above?

Thanks.

Answer 1

This error comes from the LFS extension if you log into TFS without specifying a domain name and you are trying to click a large file. Go to Control Panel \ User Accounts \ User Account Manager, the Windows credentials tab, and delete the credentials stored for the TFS server. When you git click again from the command line, you will be offered your credentials. Enter your username in the domain: DOMAIN \ USER

Answer 2

Since version 2.4.0 Git-Lfs comes with NTLM support. With this, you no longer need to use basic authentication authentication by setting credentials in Windows Credential Manager and Git-Lfs. windows with TFS on-prem.
