Eclipse Community ForumsEclipse does not seem to recognize ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 fingerprint
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/279830/784197/#msg_784197
After the OS clean, the same configuration as before was done using tutorials for gitolite.
The repository is back to working ok when used from the command line. But Eclipse is not able to fetch a project with the following complain:
"Cannot get remote repository refs
Reason: ssh://gitolite@host:22 the authenticity of host 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is xx.xx.xx... Are you sure you want to continue connection."
However, the dialog does not have an option to accept the fingerprint. I did the process to accept the fingerprint by first login in from the shell. However, the error keeps popping up.
I eliminated every host key from known_hosts and loggued back int the server so that I would only have the needed host key. But looking at the list of hosts keys from Windows->Peferences->General->Network Connections->SSH2 Known hosts tab, the key does not show up.
So, I looked at the type of key. The file says it is a ecdsa-sha2-nistp256. The previous OS Ubuntu 11.04 had mostly ssh-rsa host keys.
How do I get this to work ?
Thanks for any help]]>Jeremy Mising name2012-01-27T07:20:34-00:00Re: Eclipse does not seem to recognize ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 fingerprint

Note, as a workaround you could try with using the SSH client provided by your operating system. Set GIT_SSH before starting Eclipse (see https://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/FAQ#SSH_config).
