Authentication in JFrog dotnet task

[Tobias-08]

Hi,
I want the JFrog dotnet task to do a restore against an authenticated nuget feed on Artifactory. What do I have to do to make authentication work? The Microsoft dotnet task has an attribute externalFeedCredentials for using service connection credentials but the JFrog task has not. What is the targetResolveRepo in the JFrog task for? Is this for authentication?

Thanks!

@Tobias-08.
The credentials to Artifactory are set as part of the JFrog Artifactory v2 Service Connection. This service connection is then set as a parameter of the task.
See here and here and let us know if you have follow-up questions.

@eyalbe4 OK, thanks. I'll give it a try. What is targetResolveRepo for, anyway? The description/docs is not very helpful for me.

@Tobias-08,
The documentation relies very much on the classic UI view of Azure DevOps, and the UI includes description for all fields. The tasks UI allows creating the pipeline yaml. I guess we should add to the documentation a description for all the yaml properties.

@eyalbe4 The tasks UI says 'Sets the resolution repository'. That's not very meaningful.

Basically, it's the Artifactory Repository Key of the repository from which to resolve artifacts.
