How to specify credentials for external nuget feeds in VSTS nuget restore

I'm using the built in nuget task in VSTS to do a package restore. Our feed is hosted on an internal Artifactory server, and is referenced as a package source in my nuget.config. I'm then using a nuget service endpoint in VSTS to store the credentials to access that feed.

But when I run the build I get the following in the build log, and every request to the nuget feed results in a 401 Unauthorized.

CredentialProvider.TeamBuild: URI Prefixes:
CredentialProvider.TeamBuild:     https://ukipo.visualstudio.com/
CredentialProvider.TeamBuild:     https://ukipo.pkgs.visualstudio.com/
CredentialProvider.TeamBuild: URI: http://repo1:8081/artifactory/api/nuget/nuget-repos
CredentialProvider.TeamBuild: Is retry: False
CredentialProvider.TeamBuild: Matched prefix: 
CredentialProvider.TeamBuild: This provider only handles URIs from the build's Team Project Collection

Unauthorized http://repo1:8081/artifactory/api/nuget/nuget-repos/Packages(Id='Microsoft.AspNet.Razor',Version='3.2.3') 16ms
WARNING: Unable to find version '3.2.3' of package 'Microsoft.AspNet.Razor'.
  http://repo1:8081/artifactory/api/nuget/nuget-repos: The V2 feed at 'http://repo1:8081/artifactory/api/nuget/nuget-repos/Packages(Id='Microsoft.AspNet.Razor',Version='3.2.3')' returned an unexpected status code '401 Unauthorized'.

Is there anything else I need to configure to get the task to pickup the credentials in the service endpoint? If I just put them as packageSourceCredentials in the nuget.config, it all works fine.

Since the nuget packages feed is located in internal server, you should use the private build agent which can access the URL http://repo1:8081/artifactory/api/nuget/nuget-repos/Packages.

And there are two options can add the nuget feed credential when you execute NuGet restore task:

Option1: Use nuget service endpoint as you used

You can add Nuget endpoint with Basic Authentication. After enter feed URL, username and password, please also verify the connection before save.

enter image description here

Option2: add credential in your nuget.config file

In your local repo, you can add credentical to your project level nuget.config file as below command:

nuget sources add -name "nuget-repos" -source "http://repo1:8081/artifactory/api/nuget/nuget-repos/Packages" -username "username" -password "password" -ConfigFile path\to\project\.nuget\nuget.config

Then your can commit and push (checkin) the change to remote repo, and build without specifying the nuget service endpoint.

Note:
