LibGit2Sharp.LibGit2SharpException | too many redirects or authentication replays

[belkhir-aziz]

I am using LibGit2Sharp (version 0.28.0) with a Personal Access Token to access AZURE Repository.

UsernamePasswordCredentials =>
{
Username = "pat",
Password = PersonalAccessToken
}

CustomHeader => "Authorization: Basic {Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes($":{PersonalAccessToken}"))}"

Everything was working as expected until last week, when I started encountering exceptions while trying to interact with the remote repository (e.g., clone, pull, push).

Clone failed. | LibGit2Sharp.LibGit2SharpException | too many redirects or authentication replays

Did you upgrade anything locally (in other words, change the version of LibGit2Sharp) in the last week? If not, something has changed in Azure Repos.

You're using two authentication methods - first, you're setting UsernamePasswordCredentials, second you're adding your own credentials in the CustomHeader. I would imagine that a remote host would be confused about this. What happens if you only use one of these mechanisms?

Thank you for your reply.
No, I haven't changed the version.
It's just that authentication with PAT doesn't work for (push, pull...), I updated the PAT to make sure it's valid.
Using DefaultCredentials() does not give any error.
Everything was ok previous week.

I still get the issue when using one Mechanism only.
