To fix
following kind of errors:
gitolite
is asking for password when we close as below:
$git
clone user@server:repository
Error:
public key/password mismatch or Enter password
After
lot of research we found that, gitolite is completely depends on ssh. In
gitolite-admin, we have keydir
for all pub keys for a particular user and conf/gitolite.conf
for repository access. When we add a new user, we are executing below
commands:
- git add .
- git commit -m "comment"
- git push origin master
The
above commands will add the public key of particular user to the <git
or gitolite user>/.ssh/authorized_keys file in below format:
- command="/usr/share/gitolite/gl-auth-command
user-name-here",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-pty
<user pubkey here>
So check the /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys file whether particular
user has an associated key added in above format or not. If not add
manually which will fix the issue.
