Hi,

 

I switched to using API tokens, and everything is good.

But now, I also want to allow Bamboo to access with an API Token. I use the token as the password (as I do on my desktop), but it fails to access the repository with the error "Invalid username," which is my username.

I created a token with read permissions, but I also gave it the token I use for development,

What am I missing?

 

Thanks

Avner

To fix this error, you need to change the username to token instead of using your personal username in the Bamboo repository configuration.When authenticating a Git repository using an API token, Git expects the literal word token (or in some systems like GitHub, any arbitrary string, but token is the standard for Bitbucket/Bamboo) as the username, and the actual token string as the password.
