The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

Guest

I tried adding the mime type application/zip for the .nupkg extension but the same thing happens.
I'm stuck. The primary reason i use ProGet is for private feeds, and this feature isn't working!

Guest

This is some configuration on your end; can you post a fiddler trace?

So i can list the packages for a feed, i can push a new package with my credentials as api key, but i cannot install a package!!

How can this be a configuration on my side? I only added a user and a privilege from the proget ui.

Guest

this what happens in package manager console:

Guest

What do your permissions look like, i.e. can you take a screenshot of your privileges and roles page? I'm guessing one of the roles assigned is missing the Feeds_DownloadPackage task.

Guest

the user is a member of the admin group, with all the tasks assigned.

Guest

I found it!

If the privilege that grants the anonymous user the view only role doesn't exist (exists by default) then you can't install the package as described above!!

I have this privilege removed because, i don't want anonymous access at all!

Can you reproduce this?

Guest

Thanks for additional information - we were able to reproduce this in our test environment. Typical access uses the -ApiKey username:password format from the nuget.exe command line to supply credentials, but there seems to be no way that I can find to force the VS extension to use an API key, even if it's stored in NuGet.config.

I've put an issue in our internal issue tracker (PG-186) to investigate this further.

Guest

any update on this one?

thanks

Guest

The issue PG-186 was resolved in v3.0.1 Beta - it should work if you download that version.

Guest

Where Can I find the beta version.
I'm having same troubles with ProGet; I want only access by authenticated users; no anonymous access.

Guest

You can find the beta on the all versions download page:
http://inedo.com/proget/versions

Guest

I installed latest beta.

I do not want anonymous access. So I removed DownloadPackage from ReadOnly.
When I try to logon to feed in Visual Studio I get a popup where I need to provide user name and password. But when I enter the correct user and password, the prompt keeps coming back. Only when I enable anonymous access everything works, but we want to protected our packages. Any ideas?

Guest

I must be missing something here, but if you remove the View Only privilege to download packages, you should be forbidden from downloading packages... Are you saying you removed your View Only privileges, or that you removed them from the Anonymous User such that it has no privileges?

If it's the latter, can you send a Fiddler trace containing the requests that Visual Studio extension is attempting to send?
