NuGet V2 Feed Error about Returned Unexpected 401 Status Code

Environment

Product Progress® Telerik® Reporting
Private Telerik NuGet Feed Installation

Description

After changing my Telerik password, I get a Telerik NuGet V2 feed error about a returned unexpected status code 401.

Error Message

[Telerik Nuget] The V2 feed at '...' returned an unexpected status code '401 Logon failed.'

Cause

After changing your Telerik password, you need to reset your credentials in the NuGet.config file.

Solution

Update your credentials and use an API key instead of a password. Using an API key instead of a password is a more secure approach:

  1. Generate an API key.
  2. Update the credentials for the Telerik NuGet feed by running NuGet Sources Update -Name "telerik.com" -Source "https://nuget.telerik.com/v3/index.json" -UserName "api-key" -Password "YOUR-API-KEY" -StorePasswordInClearText
