Hi EGIT community,

after hours and hours of configuring egit with gitolite I decided to give this forum a try. Hopefully someone can give me a pointer to what I am doing wrong. or a logfile I haven't seen. or a command. or anything... Confused

I am trying to setup eclipse with a private remote git repository (first gitosis by now gitolite--no difference really) Simple test situation: one repository, one user with public key auth, git over ssh.

On the commandline

git@host.com:repo.git

-> works

In Eclipse/EGIT

ssh://git@host.com/repo.git

-> exception ls-remote command (details see below)
(same result for writing the config directly into .git/config and starting via egit)

Additionally from this point onwards my IP is blocked from accessing the server (enty in /etc/hosts.deny).

I took a look into the /var/log/auth.log on the remote host (see below). It appears eclipse is failing the authentication.

However the public key resides in .ssh/id_rsa-repo which is precisely the location I configured in the Window->Preferences --> General->Network Connection->SSH2 menu. Additionally I even disabled all other forms of authentication, but to no avail.

I am running out of ideas here. Anybody?

Details:
Eclipse: 3.7.2
EGIT version: 1.3.0.201202151440-r
GIT: 1.7.2.5
Gitolite: v3.03-14-g7170ad9

Exception:
"Exception caught during execution of ls-remote command"

Logfile ssh connection
Starting the session and administering the repository

accessing the repository from commandline

Jun  2 12:18:47 HOST sshd[9570]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user git

Finally accessing the repository from git

Jun  2 12:19:25 HOST sshd[9586]: Failed password for git from MY-IP port 62590 ssh2
Jun  2 12:19:25 HOST last message repeated 4 times

A enty in /etc/hosts.deny follows immediately

Tried the same for github. Same exception.

I am now 99% sure eclipse messes with my keys. Yet the configuration is absolutely right (points to ~/.ssh and includes the right private key)

Is there no way to get more control on how eclipse handles this?

Having the very same issue. Although I've found that public repos like "git://git.apache.org/cassandra.git" seem to work fine. Subscribing to this thread in case a solution is posted...

I notice that the keypair you are using is called ~/.ssh/id_rsa-repo(.pub) rather than the default .ssh/id_rsa(.pub). How do you tell Eclipse to use the non-standard name?

Try telling ssh itself which key you use, by adding an entry like this in ~/.ssh/config (create the file if none exists)

Host github github.com www.github.com
    User git
    HostName github.com
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa-github

Actually, can you post the results of cloning from the command line - I gather that it's successful, but i would like to see exactly what command you entered. Post your ~/.ssh/config if you have one.
