BasicAuthCredential requires SSL encryption. The tool does not work for ADO Server instances running http

[macdonald-keith-vmware]

I am attempting to import the Jira work items I extracted to an on-premise AzureDevops server instance

wi-import --token XXXXX --url http:/// --config myconfig-agile.json --force

The log indicates an exception is generated:
[I][15:10:44] Connecting to Azure DevOps/TFS...
[E][15:10:44] Unexpected migration error.
[System.InvalidOperationException] System.InvalidOperationException: Basic authentication requires a secure connection to the server.

at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.Common.VssCredentials.TryGetTokenProvider(Uri serverUrl, IssuedTokenProvider& provider)

I have validated the token is correct and has appropriate permissions. Is the problem because the server is using http instead of https?

I think BasicAuthCredential requires https://. Running the migrator over an unencrypted connection should be something to consider, maybe. I'll mark this issue as a feature request.

The question is why you would need to run ADO Server unencrypted in the first place?

Can be fixed by using VssClientCredentials: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61571032/basic-authentication-requires-a-secure-connection-to-the-server-in-tfs
