I am trying to get a Gitolite server going on a CentOS machine, but I can't seem to access it from an Eclipse on a Windows laptop.
I can clone the admin repository from a local account and from the remote computer with command line git, (git clone git@192.168.2.96:gitolite-admin
) but when I try to do it from Eclipse I get nothing but Auth fail
messages.
The key is in C:\Users\<username>\.ssh
and Eclipse's SSH2 home
directory is pointing there.
If your "Window > Preferences > Network Connections > SSH2
" are correct, make sure this isn't related to an undefined GIT_SSH environment variable (following bug 326526, as I mentioned in "Egit Refuses to accept id_rsa").
Of course, make sure you are using the latest version of EGit (otherwise you may still face bugs like bug 356233: "EGit needs to clear cached passwords if ssh authentication fails").
Note that if your private key has a passphrase, there is a pending bug (352385) (or double check you did entered your password correctly).
