Clone git repository from Gerrit fails over SSH [message #998647]

Hello,

I've tried to clone a git repository from our Gerrit instance using a URL like

ssh://<username>@gerrit.instance:29418/project/name

and a private DSA key.

After submitting the key the first time, Orion keeps asking for a private key again and again.

Do you have any hints for me or is this a known bug?

Thank you and best regards,
Ken

Orion doesn't cache credentials by default for security reasons. You can configure orion to cache credentials in client side browser cache. See:

Hi John,

thank you for this hint. But, unfortunately, it does not solve my problem.

Maybe my first description was misleading. I meant that Orion is even unable to initially clone the git repository from Gerrit. It just keeps asking for a private key.

Best regards,
Ken

Ok, all I can say is I'm not aware of any bugs in this area (which doesn't mean there aren't any). I have repositories cloned in orion using both ssh and git: protocols, and using either passphrase or private key setups without problems. Maybe there is something different about the authentication on that server but it's hard to say without a way to try it out.
