Stash (first) clone keeps prompting for git@mydomain.com password

Pascal

I'm setting up a new Stash client machine (Ubuntu terminal):

I created a repository in Stash
Generated a new SSH key (for myname@mydomain.com) and added it to my user account.
I have set the global user.name and user.e-mail (to myname@mydomain.com)

Stash tells me that I can clone the repository with "git clone ssh://git@mydomain.com/ibe/ibea.git", but when I do, it prompts me for the password of "git@mydomain.com". And there I'm stuck...

I'm guessing there is still something missing in the configuration, but what?

(BTW, I've also tried creating some local content and adding that to the Stash repo with a "git push -u origin master", but that also prompts me for the "git@mydomain.com" password).

Edit:

It seems to be related to how the Stash server is setup. When I run "ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -vT git@stash.mydomain.com" with Git debug on, I get:

OpenSSH_5.9p1 Debian-5ubuntu1.4, OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012

git@stash.mydomain.com's password:

So, it looks like the server wants both a public key AND a password authentication. The latter should be obsolete, however. But how do I correct this?

Ahhh.. stupid: we have a proxy server sitting in front of our Stash server. It had no SSH port forwarding configured. After following the instructions of installing HAProxy (next to Nginx, which we're already using), everything finally worked.

What client are you using for creating the clone?

Pascal

Good question. I'm using Ubuntu on the terminal. (I'll add it to the question).

Balázs Szakmáry

Your SSH agent (probably OpenSSH) is probably not configured correctly. It needs to have an entry in your .gitconfig, be running and have your SSH key pair imported into it. (For details of how to achieve all this, I would suggest a Google search, it depends a lot on what you are using.)

Pascal

I tried it on another client (OS X terminal), which has worked before with the same Stash server but another repository and that doesn't work either. This leads me to believe that there is something wrong on the server side. I have done a little debugging and found the data that I added to the question. Does that give you a clue what might be going on?

Balázs Szakmáry

(Wild guesses starting now.) Is there a firewall blocking a port? Does your server know the same SSH key your client is using?

Pascal

Thanks, very much for your assistance Balazs. See my own answer for what the problem turned out to be.
