troubleshooting connectivity to azure pipeline artifacts for npm

Quite often we need use npm to connect to Azure devops artifact to download packages. First, the user needs to be authenticated.  In order to do that, we need to run some commands depending on what OS we're currently using. 



After running the command above and still get a 403 when connecting to the feed, then you can run the following to see which users id is being selected.

vsts-npm-auth -config .npmrc -F
