Resolution
The cause is an invalid <instance> in the connector's config file.
The hint is this line you see in the log:
https://tfs.company.com:443/{}/DefaultCollection
The config file in this case include this line which basically has a blank value for the instance:
<instance></instance>
A blank value is not allowed and results in the {} which you see in that log line. This causes the http URL to fail.
A "no value" is actually supposed to be just a slash character /
This will cause this log line to be:
https://tfs.company.com:443///DefaultCollection
How to resolve:
1. If this is for a VSTS connector then it does not use an instance. For VSTS connector, please set your config file to have:
<instance>/</instance>
2. If for FTS connector then:
a. If you actually have an instance (which is for On-Premise customers) then use the instance's name in the config file:
<instance>INSTANCE_NAME</instance>
b. If you do not have an instance (for SaaS customers) then use a slash for an empty value and define this in the config file:
<instance>/</instance>
