SSH Keys for connecting with Bamboo

Question

I don't have any SSH Keys configured in Bitbucket for connection with Bamboo, Though i am able to run my code from Bamboo with repository linked with Bitbucket, i am not getting Artifacts in Bamboo(results and screenshots to be collected from Bitbucket). How to get this problem solved? If it is due to missing SSH Keys connectivity, then how to generate keys for connecting with my Bamboo.

Hi Ana, Thankyou so much for your answer :)

Actually my main problem of concern is why Artifacts not getting generated(results and screenshots to be collected from Bitbucket)  which are defined in Bamboo plan?

do SSH Keys in Bitbucket have anything to do with the Artifacts that must be generated in Bamboo?

Hi Naresh! When setting up a Bitbucket Cloud linked repository, Bamboo first needs the username and password to retrieve the list of repositories from Bitbucket Cloud. After selecting the repository, users can then decide what type of authentication to use for the checkout.

SSH authentication is only used for Git checkouts, the username and password are still needed to authenticate and get the list of repositories. To eliminate the use of username and password, users have the option to create a Git type linked repository instead. In this repository type, users can define the clone URL manually and define the authentication to use. Since Bamboo does not need to retrieve the repository list, username and password can be eliminated this way.

Does that answer your question? Let us know if you need anything else!

Best regards,

Ana
