[[usersetup]] == Initial Login It's time to exit the gerrit2 account as you now have Gerrit running on your host and setup your first workspace. Start a shell with the credentials of the account you will perform development under. Check whether there are any ssh keys already. You're looking for two files, id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. ---- user@host:~$ ls .ssh authorized_keys config id_rsa id_rsa.pub known_hosts user@host:~$ ---- If you have the files, you may skip the key generating step. If you don't see the files in your listing, your will have to generate rsa keys for your ssh sessions: === SSH key generation *Please don't generate new keys if you already have a valid keypair!* *They will be overwritten!* ---- user@host:~$ ssh-keygen -t rsa Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa): Created directory '/home/user/.ssh'. Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa. Your public key has been saved in /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. The key fingerprint is: 00:11:22:00:11:22:00:11:44:00:11:22:00:11:22:99 user@host The key's randomart image is: +--[ RSA 2048]----+ | ..+.*=+oo.*E| | u.OoB.. . +| | ..*. | | o | | .

You can find the url in the settings file. ---- gerrit2@host:~$ git config -f ~/gerrit_testsite/etc/gerrit.config gerrit.canonicalWebUrl http://localhost:8080/ gerrit2@host:~$ ---- Register a new account in Gerrit through the web interface with the email address of your choice. The default authentication type is OpenID. If your Gerrit server is behind a proxy, and you are using an external OpenID provider, you will need to add the proxy settings in the configuration file. ---- gerrit2@host:~$ git config -f ~/gerrit_testsite/etc/gerrit.config --add http.proxy http://proxy:8080 gerrit2@host:~$ git config -f ~/gerrit_testsite/etc/gerrit.config --add http.proxyUsername username gerrit2@host:~$ git config -f ~/gerrit_testsite/etc/gerrit.config --add http.proxyPassword password ---- Refer to the Gerrit configuration guide for more detailed information about link:config-gerrit.html#auth[authentication] and link:config-gerrit.html#http.proxy[proxy] settings. The first user to sign-in and register an account will be automatically placed into the fully privileged Administrators group, permitting server management over the web and over SSH. Subsequent users will be automatically registered as unprivileged users. Once signed in as your user, you find a little wizard to get you started. The wizard helps you fill out: * Real name (visible name in Gerrit) * Register your email (it must be confirmed later) * Select a username with which to communicate with Gerrit over ssh+git * The server will ask you for an RSA public key. That's the key we generated above, and it's time to make sure that Gerrit knows about our new key and can identify us by it. ---- user@host:~$ cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEA1bidOd8LAp7Vp95M1b9z+LGO96OEWzdAgBPfZPq05jUh jw0mIdUuvg5lhwswnNsvmnFhGbsUoXZui6jdXj7xPUWOD8feX2NNEjTAEeX7DXOhnozNAkk/Z98WUV2B xUBqhRi8vhVmaCM8E+JkHzAc+7/HVYBTuPUS7lYPby5w95gs3zVxrX8d1++IXg/u/F/47zUxhdaELMw2 deD8XLhrNPx2FQ83FxrjnVvEKQJyD2OoqxbC2KcUGYJ/3fhiupn/YpnZsl5+6mfQuZRJEoZ/FH2n4DEH wzgBBBagBr0ZZCEkl74s4KFZp6JJw/ZSjMRXsXXXWvwcTpaUEDii708HGw== John Doe@MACHINE user@host:~$ ---- IMPORTANT: Please take note of the extra line-breaks introduced in the key above for formatting purposes.
