Azure DevOps: Creating Personal Access Token (PAT)

Azure DevOps: Creating Personal Access Token (PAT)

Posted on by admin
Azure DevOps REST API

Sign in to your organisation (https://dev.azure.com/{yourorganization})

Treat and use a PAT like your password and keep it a secret.

Use your PAT anywhere your user credentials are required for authentication in Azure DevOps.

You can use a personal access token (PAT) as an alternate password to authenticate into Azure DevOps.

A personal access token contains your security credentials for Azure DevOps. A PAT identifies you, your accessible organizations, and scopes of access. As such, they're as critical as passwords, so you should treat them the same way.

If you're working within Microsoft tools, then your Microsoft account (MSA) or Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is an acceptable and well-supported approach. But, if you're working with third-party tools that don't support Microsoft or Azure AD accounts – or you don't want to provide your primary credentials to the tool – use PATs to limit your risk.

IBM Cloud – API Connect

Posted on by admin

Actually, I struggled very very much to understand how API Connect service works. Because, I couldn't find a good documentation in IBM official site. So, I hope that someone who needs to understand may benefit from this article. I think that writing too much about API Connect UI is not very helpful. That is to say, Pictures sometimes may say many things clearly. So, you will see many screenshots with simple descriptions. 😉
