My local repository (on OpenSuse cloned folder - inside: /Giga/.hg/hgrc) is:

---

[paths]
default = http://the.hg.server.com/hg/TestHgRepo1/
myrepo = http://the.hg.server.com/hg/TestHgRepo1/

[auth]
myrepo.schemes = http https
myrepo.prefix = the.hg.server.com/hg
myrepo.username = c123456

---

I tried everything but this Keyring thing is not working. I get prompt everytime I do:

• hg out

• hg push

• etc hg operation but not when I do

hg commit

Can someone please tell what the heck I'm missing here. Tried the same excercise on Windows with TortoiseHg, with C:...\mercurial.ini (Windows side kinda of unix ~/.hgrc file).. and updated/made sure local repository cloned folder's ../clonedfolder/.hg/hgrc file contains the similar [auth] ..3 lines but Mercurial on Linux OpenSUSE and on Windows using TortoiseHg is not working with keyring.

It's prompting me for entering user credentials again n again :((

can someone pls correct me on what should I do to get this resolved.

Answer 1

if prompted multiple times for user credentials in mercurial. Setup Mercurial_Keyring and then

this question comes which nobody explained in an easy way.

??? how to make the [auth] xx.prefix = servername/hg_or_something work for all repositories under servername/hg location either if I use servername, servername's IP or servername's FQDN ?

Final ANSWER: Arun • 2 minutes ago −

OK, I put this in ~/.hgrc (Linux/Unix -home directory's .hgrc hidden file) or Windows users %UserProfile%/mercurial.ini or %HOME%/mercurial.ini file.

[auth]
default1.schemes = http https
default1.prefix = hg_merc_server/hg
default1.username = c123456

default2.schemes = http https
default2.prefix = hg_merc_server.company.com/hg
default2.username = c123456

default3.schemes = http https
default3.prefix = 10.211.222.321/hg
default3.username = c123456

Now, I can checkout using either Server/IP/Server's FQDN.
