saved Shared credentials does not show up.

Question

I have added a ssh credentials to be shared and under overview->shared credentials, the saved credentials shows up.  However, when I try to create a plan and try to link repository to a new plan through Bitbucket Cloud, I could not use shared credentials.

When I select "Use shared credentials to authenticate", I get a message saying "No shared credentials of this type have been defined. You can configure them in administration panel on Shared credentials page." even though a credential is already added.

Is there anything else I need to do to use this added ssh credentials (with which I can access bitbucket repository from a terminal)?

4 years later. This is still a problem. It is horrible UX to say that no shared credentials exist, when the actual problem is that user+pass needs to be used.

Also, why does the first connection need to be made with HTTPS? There is absolutely no hard reason for this. Transfer whatever "info" needs to be transferred via SSH.

Hi Masahiro,

You can use the App password for that.

Steps:

1. Create App Password in Bitbucket.

2. In Bamboo, create a shared credential type "username and password" and use the Bitbucket username and the app password as a password.

Thanks,
