Jenkins and Visual Studio Online integration authentication

right now I am trying to Setup Continuouse Integration - Delivery for a basic WCF Service, which will be hosted on a Microsoft Azure VM. The Project is Version Controlled through Visual Studio Online. So I installed Jenkins (also on the Azure VM), TFS plugin etc. and started the first Test Build:

As Server URL I used "[VSO Adress]/DefaultCollection" and for Login purposes my Microsoft Account (I can Access VSO with that). The Problem is, when I run the Build I get the following error in Jenkins:

Started by user Developer Building in workspace C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\test\workspace [workspace] $ "C:\Program Files (x86)\TEE-CLC-11.0.0.1306\TEE-CLC-11.0.0\tf.cmd" workspaces -format:brief -server:[VSO Adress]/DefaultCollection ****" An error occurred: Access denied connecting to TFS server [VSO Adress] (authenticating as har****@*******o.com) FATAL: Executable returned an unexpected result code [100] ERROR: null Finished: FAILURE

So my question is, whether it is generally possible to connect Jenkins and VSO that way and if so, which login credentials are needed

You will not be able to authenticate with your Microsoft ID as Jenkins is not able to get the encrypted token. If you head over to VSO you can open your profile (top right) and configure alternative credentials you can use them to login.

Also you can get service account credentials through the API. I created a simple tool for this: http://nakedalm.com/tfs-service-credential-viewer/

It's crude but usually works.
