EGit with HTTP authentication [message #493852]

Wed, 28 October 2009 05:51

I am having trouble cloning a remote repository over HTTP with authentication. I get the following error (names have been changed to protect the innocent):

http://xxx@git.xxx.xxx/xx/xx/model.git/info/refs: cannot read available refs
http://xxx@git.xxx.xxx/xx/xx/model.git/info/refs: 401 Authorization Required

Is this supposed to work in the current version of EGit? I am using EGit from http://www.jgit.org/updates (version 0.5.0.200908282229).

It should be working. Apparently, its not, so its a bug.

To help whomever is assigned this, I am running into the same problem serving up git via http using apache.

Here is my /etc/apache2/conf.d/git.conf

Alias /git /var/git
<Directory "/var/git/">
        Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Indexes

        # Deny everyything here
        DAV On
        Deny from all
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "git repository"
        AuthUserFile /var/git/htpasswd.git
        AuthGroupFile /var/git/htgroup.git
</Directory>

Alias /PROJECT-X.git /var/git/PROJECT-X.git
<Directory "/var/git/PROJECT-X.git/">
        Allow from all
        Order allow,deny
        <Limit GET>
                Require group PROJECT-X-read
        </Limit>
        <Limit GET PUT POST DELETE PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>
                Require group PROJECT-X-write
        </Limit>
</Directory>

Then when I try to Import...Git Repository a new Git installation from within eclipse, I get the initial error. "Cannot lis the available branches. Reason: [url]: cannoe read available refs. 401 Authorization Required". This is by using the url in the import: http://user:password@hostname:80/Project-X.git. All of the fields on the Import Git Repository window form get filled in correctly. I can also do a git clone/push/? all from the command line to the repository.

Has a bug been filed for this? I can file one to get things rolling.

Thanks!

Yes, it's exactly this
http://code.google.com/p/egit/issues/detail?id=43 And it was confirmed
for 0.5.0 version by several users.
