向witadmin提供用户名和密码

Question

Using witadmin I'm trying to delete a work item on a TFS in a different domain . I therefore use a login that is different from my Windows login, for which I'm asked when opening the web interface.

However, witadmin fails with the following message, not prompting for username and password:

Unable to destroy work item(s) 1. TF237090: Does not exist or access is denied.

Is there a way to supply credentials as arguments or explicitly make witadmin prompt for credentials?

Answer 1

What solved my problem is the Credential Manager , which is in Control Panel > User Accounts > Manage Your Credentials . I added an item to Windows Credentials containing containing the username and password I need for the TFS.

It doesn't make witadmin ask, but it takes these credentials.
