In the Release definition, credentials appear in these objects:
-
Pipelines: How the credential is applied to the Release depends on the selected pipeline.
If the pipeline has required inputs (parameters) and any of the inputs is a credential parameter, you can enter the path to the credential, browse to it, select a credential parameter ( Parameter Credential ) or a credential binding to a pipeline task ( Credential binding ), or select a user-defined credential that is attached to the project associated with the pipeline.
-
Applications or microservices: How the credential is applied to the Release depends on the applications or microservices in the selected pipeline.
If any input to an application or microservice is a credential parameter, you can enter the path to the credential, browse to it, select a credential parameter ( Parameter Credential ) or a credential binding to a pipeline task ( Credential binding ), or select a user-defined credential that is attached to the project associated with the pipeline.
See the steps to select a pipeline and to select credential inputs for an application or microservice in the pipeline in the Release Definition for examples of these operations.
