=============================
|
|
|
|
With this error message an SSH command to Gerrit is rejected if the
|
|
SSH authentication is not successful.
|
|
|
|
The link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell[SSH] protocol uses link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography[Public-key Cryptography] for authentication.
|
|
This means for a successful SSH authentication you need your private
|
|
SSH key and the corresponding public SSH key must be known to Gerrit.
|
|
|
|
If you are facing this problem, do the following:
|
|
|
|
. Verify that you are using the correct username for the SSH command
|
|
and that it is typed correctly (case sensitive). You can look up
|
|
your username in the Gerrit WebUI under 'Settings' -> 'Profile'.
|
|
. Verify that you have uploaded your public SSH key for your Gerrit
|
|
account. To do this go in the Gerrit WebUI to 'Settings' ->
|
|
'SSH Public Keys' and check that your public SSH key is there. If
|
|
your public SSH key is not there you have to upload it.
|
|
. Verify that you are using the correct private SSH key. To find out
|
|
which private SSH key is used test the SSH authentication as
|
|
described below. From the trace you should see which private SSH
|
|
key is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Test SSH authentication
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
To test the SSH authentication you can run the following SSH command.
|
|
This command will print out a detailed trace which is helpful to
|
|
analyze problems with the SSH authentication:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
$ ssh -vv -p 29418 john.doe@git.example.com
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
If the SSH authentication is successful you should find the following
|
|
lines in the output:
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).
