Encrypted nuget credentials

[Martin]

How do I get the encrypted credentials for my account?

And how do I make it work?
Previously one guy tried to do it and failed, so now I'm going in for a new attempt. Clean slate.

This is what the config looks like right now (without username and password) :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <solution>
    <add key="disableSourceControlIntegration" value="true" />
  </solution>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="nuget.telerik.com" value="https://nuget.telerik.com/v3/index.json" />
  </packageSources>
  <packageSourceCredentials>
    <nuget.telerik.com>
      <add key="Username" value="myemail" />
      <add key="ClearTextPassword" value="mypassword" />
    </nuget.telerik.com>
  </packageSourceCredentials>
</configuration>

If it's not possible then that's that.
But it would be preferable to not have them in plaintext...

Hi Martin,

Thank you for the details provided.

In order to encrypt automatically, try the following commands:

dotnet nuget add source "https://nuget.telerik.com/v3/index.json" --name "nuget.telerik.com" --username {{username}} --password {{password}}



nuget sources add -Name "nuget.telerik.com" -Source "https://nuget.telerik.com/v3/index.json" -UserName {{username}} -Password {{password}}

Use the snippets above depending on the usage of dotnet CLI or nuget.exe.

The following articles are representing both the pointed approaches:

• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/reference/cli-reference/cli-ref-sources
• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-nuget-add-source

Give a try the approaches above and let me know if further assistance or information is needed.

Kind Regards,
