# Azure DevOps

You can use the Azure DevOps connector from the CData Sync application to capture data
from Azure DevOps and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add
the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

## Add the Azure DevOps Connector

To enable Sync to use data from Azure DevOps, you first must add the
connector, as follows:

<ol>
  <li>Open the **Connections** page of the Sync dashboard.</li>
  <li>Click **Add Connection** to open the **Select Connectors** page.</li>
  <li>Click the **Sources** tab and locate
  the **Azure DevOps** row.</li>

  <li>
    Click the **Configure Connection** icon at the end of that row to open
    the **New Connection** page. This action opens the
    **Add Connection** dialog.

    **Note:** If the **Configure Connection** icon is not
    available, click the **Download Connector** icon to install
    the Azure DevOps connector.
  </li>

  <li>Enter a name for your connection in the **Add Connection** dialog.</li>
  <li>Click **Add** to open the **Settings** tab for your connector.</li>
</ol>

For more information about installing new connectors, see
[Connections](https://docs.sync.cdata.com/26.4/en/connections/connections.md).

## Authenticate to Azure DevOps

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

* **Organization:** Enter the name of your organization in the Azure DevOps account. To obtain the name of your organization, navigate to **Profile > Organizations** in your Azure DevOps.
* **Azure Dev Ops Edition:** Select your edition of Azure DevOps.
  * **AzureDevOps Online:** The default edition.
  * **AzureDevOps OnPremise:** For this edition, you must also specify the following properties:
    * **URL:** Enter the public URL of your Azure DevOps On-Premises instance (for example, https\://localhost/defaultcollection).
    * **User:** Enter the username that you use to authenticate to your Azure DevOps account.

CData Sync supports authenticating to Azure DevOps in a couple of ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

* [**Azure Active Directory**](#azure-active-directory) (**Note:** This authentication scheme is **not supported** for **AzureDevOps OnPremise**.)
* [**Basic**](#basic)

### Azure Active Directory

To connect with an Azure Active Directory (AD) user account, select **AzureAD**
for **Auth Scheme**. CData Sync provides an embedded OAuth application with
which to connect, so no additional properties are required.

### Basic

To connect with your user credentials, set the following properties:

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **Basic**.
* **Personal Access Token:** Enter the personal access token that you use to access your organization's data.

  To generate a personal access token:

  1. Log in to your Azure DevOps Organization account.
  2. Select **Profile > Personal Access Tokens > New Token** to generate a token.

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. Specify the following properties:
   * **Catalog:** Enter the catalog that you want to use for querying tables.
   * **Include Custom Fields:** Specify whether you want Sync to display custom fields as columns in Azure DevOps tables. The default option is **True**.
2. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
3. If you authenticate with AzureAD, click **Connect to Azure DevOps** to connect to your Azure DevOps account.
4. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
