Npm commands return unauthorized
-
Hi there,
When trying to run npm update or npm view I'm getting an unauthorized error:
npm ERR! <h2>401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.</h2>
npm ERR! <h3>You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.</h3>Wierdly npm install has no issues.
This has been working for a while but stopped working (I think after an update of ProGet).To be sure I created a second account with admin/package manager priviledges but that account also failed.
Logging in on the webportal or using NuGet is no problem.
ProGet: 5.1.4 (Build 2)

I'm guessing you have WIndows Integrated authentication enabled? npm does not support this, and you will always have this error. The only work-around is to create a second site in IIS with different authentication enabled.
Otherwise, the error is with the credentials you are sending. You can change permissions and make the feed anonymous if you wish to workaround the configuration.

Hi Alana,
No Windows authentication is not enabled.
And like I said in my original post, using npm install does work. The credentials are correct as I can login to NuGet or the web portal (I've used npm login like a million times).

We are only aware of that message occurring in the two cases I mentioned, and haven't had reports of the contrary. From here, please use a tool like Fiddler or Wireshark to identify the exact request/response patterns that are happening. You can see the authentication headers sent, and it's possible there's a typo or something in a name or password.
