git with ssh authentication prompts for password

Hi there,

I have enabled SSH keys on my STASH repo, I generated keys, copied the public key into the stash repo, however when I try to do any git operation I am prompted for a password for the git@hostname account.

$git pull

git@myhost.mydomain's password:

If I run the ssh test..

ssh -p 7999 -vT git@myhost.mydomain

Problem solved, ssh:// was missing from my url. Once I put ssh:// at the beginning, git worked.

Did you configure a password while generating the SSH key?

You mean a passphrase? No I did not setup a passphrase for the key pair.

I am one step closer to figuring out the problem.. it seems that git is trying to connect to port 22 (trying to bind to the sshd server) rather than the listening java proc on 7999. Looks like this problem is on my git clients side.

I'm having the same problem as you were. Adding ssh:// in front of the url doesn't work for me though, as then I just get a message saying "ssh: Could not resolve hostname ...."

To clarfiy, is the correct url format this?

ssh://git@bitbucket.org:[accountname]/[repo].git

Mike,

Sounds like you have a DNS issue... did you run the ssh test command like I did?

Using Bitbucket cloud, running the test:

ssh -Tv git@bitbucket.org

You can use git or hg to connect to Bitbucket. Shell access is disabled.

The test prompts for my password as well ("Enter passphrase for key..."). What am I missing?
