We have an NPM package say 'design' in say organization1, I have a pipeline which is part of the same organization that is able to resolve the package with just npmrc file. I wanted to access the packages 'design' from organization2, I am not able to read/resolve the package. pipeline throws 401.

1. I tried setting up Service connection in Azure devops and try to use - same response
2. tried with PAT directly on the npmrc file - same response
3. From this

   Note: You need to convert the PAT to base64 type and replace the token value in .npmrc file.

   To get the detailed settings, you can navigate to Azure Feed -> Connect to feed -> NPM -> Other and check the .npmrc file settings.

   

   Update:

   To convert the PAT to base64 type, we can follow this doc: Credentials setup
