az login error: Please ensure you have network connection. Error detail: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='login.microsoftonline.com', port=443)

Question

Trying to install the Azure Devops CLI Extension

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/cli/?view=azure-devops

az extension add --name azure-devops

is the command I run

I get the following error message

Error Message I have tried

git config http.sslVerify "false"

I've tried to do multiple azure cli and powershell commands

I've set my context with

Set-AzContext -Subscription "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"

I don't understand what the issue is here.

I've tried running the commands with and without the VPN ( I use Pulse VPN for reference)

I've tried setting powershell's execution policy to Undefined

**Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Undefined -Scope CurrentUser**

If someone could please let me know their thoughts on the specific error:

Please ensure you have network connection.

I've seen the post here Azure CLI Error and it was of no help

Answer 1

We have tried the same at our local to install the azure devops extension and it works successfully by following the MS DOC as given in question .

Here are the workaround we followed;

az login
Select-AzSubscription -Subscription subscriptionID

And it has been logged in successfully:-

After then installing az extension add --name azure-devops and it works.

Below are az --version we used ;

NOTE:- For the error make sure that you are using the latest version of az cli and enabled the port in your local ( Windows security> Advance settings> Inbound Rule> add new rule then add your required port (443) and enable the same ).
