I am running AWX-EE 24.6.1 in Kubernetes and setting up with a PAT for the TFS repo. The Project Sync always fails with authentication error.

If I run the same command in the CLI of the container and it fails too.

Then I run using the same format username : password like this ": in the git call from a machine on the network and PAT credentials are accepted.

I have tried a username of “a” or nothing “” with the PAT as password in AWX - authentication fails.

How can I see exactly what the git call is? I am looking at logs inside the task container and see this:
