SSH Error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id')

Juan-Paul Naude 1

Followed the guidelines to setup my ssh (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/git/use-ssh-keys-to-authenticate?view=azure-devops), but when I try to add my public key it just fails with this error:

An error occurred while adding the ***** key: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘id’)

Note when I open the SSH public keys page: "Unable to contact the server. Please check your network connection and try again. "
* Is this a permission issue because i can see and access the repo

Please any help will be greatly appreciated

Hi @Juan-Paul Naude ,

I've updated your tag so your post can be directed to the appropriate audience. Also, feel free to ask your question over on Azure DevOps fourm. With regards to

Note when I open the SSH public keys page: "Unable to contact the server. Please check your network connection and try again. "
* Is this a permission issue because i can see and access the repo

SSH keys, the page itself, is user specific, like Personal Access Keys. Using SSH Keys for a repo or organization itself, could be permission related, however I'm not 100% sure of that. But your error in question seems like it's a client-side error that you would see in the browser console. If that's the case, I would report it as a bug via the Help menu.
