Getting password prompt when pushing a new repo

[sebix]

Is your SSH-Key not password-secured? Otherwise, there should be a prompt, of course. How did you create your own SSH-Key?

[lorensr]

Thank you for your time!

openssl genrsa -des3 -out redmine-private.pem 2048
openssl rsa -in redmine-private.pem -pubout > redmine.pub

It is password-secured, but the prompt is:

$ git push origin master
gitosis@redmine's password: 
Permission denied, please try again.

and the password I used when creating the key does not work.

Um, why you tying to connect using gitosis user? Are you sure that your installation uses it instead of git?

I mean git origin: gitosis@redmine:test.git

[lorensr]

I tried git@redmine:test.git and got the same results, but apt-get install gitosis sets up the user gitosis, which is why the sudo's in the last part of my bash record are as gitosis.

I'm sure, this is not an redmine-gitosis issue, but you should start from looking into /var/logs/secure (or what debian uses for authentication logging), and see what happens. Don't forget to start sshd with debug-level logging.

[lorensr]

I stopped my sshd and started it with sudo /usr/sbin/sshd -ddd

Here is the output: https://gist.github.com/1154120

So it appears to be looking in /srv/gitosis/.ssh/authorized_keys. Should the redmine_gitosis plugin be placing the public keys uploaded by redmine users in that file?

[y8]

There something wrong with your installation. Can you paste /srv/gitosis/.ssh/authorized_keys. contents? There something wrong with key file:

debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type 'command="gitosis-serve'
debug3: key_read: missing keytype

you may try to sudo chmod 755 /home/git/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/hooks/post-update

[lorensr]

Thanks - I tried sudo chmod 755 /srv/gitosis/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/hooks/post-update, but no change.

[lorensr]

Should I try reinstalling gitosis in a different manner from above? Or is there another issue page / mailing list I should try?

[y8]

Yes, I think you should try from scratch. First of all, befo setting redmine integration, make sure that gitosis itself work well.

On the server:

git clone git://eagain.net/gitosis
cd gitosis
python setup.py install
sudo adduser     --system     --shell /bin/sh     --gecos 'git version control'     --group     --disabled-password     --home /srv/git git
sudo -H -u git ssh-keygen -t dsa
sudo -u git cat /srv/git/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | sudo -H -u git gitosis-init
sudo scp /srv/git/.ssh/id_dsa me@client:~/.ssh/git_pri

On the client:

$ git clone git@redmine:gitosis-admin.git
Cloning into gitosis-admin...
git@redmine's password: 
Permission denied, please try again.

How does git know to use ~/.ssh/git_pri? Could that be the problem? When I use a key with ssh I do ssh -i ~/.ssh/key.pem user@host.
