GIT-TF Could not get principal for kerberos 5 credentials (No credentials cache file found)

Question

I'm trying to set up git-tf on osx. I have everything configured correctly and am now trying to clone an existing TFS repo into git-tf.

I am running the following command:

git tf clone https://tfs-url.net/tfs $/path/to/workspaceOrWhateverTFSCallsIt

I enter my username and password but I always get a timed out message:

Connecting to TFS...
git-tf: connect timed out

Even if the --verbose flag is set. Even if I enter utter nonsense for the un/pw combo. Handy that.

In the logs I get this:

Is there anything I need to do on the TFS side to allow me to authenticate through git-tf?

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

Your problem isn't authentication, your problem is that you can't reach the server. "Connection timed out indicates that the server could not be reached.

Double check the URL you are using to connect, including the port number. Ensure that the server has a hole opened in the firewall. Ensure that you can connect from a different TFS client, like Visual Studio or Team Explorer Everywhere.
