batch response: Authorization error: when pushing lfs files

[Arturo]

Hi there!

I am using my own custom bitbucket server for managing large files but I am getting  the following error when trying to push a commit which contains LFS files. 

lotte@lotte:/media/lotte/data2/deep-learning$ git push origin master
batch response: Authorization error: http://bitbucket.lars.com/scm/di/deep-learning.git/info/lfs/objects/batch 
Check that you have proper access to the repository
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://git@10.15.56.72:7999/di/deep-learning.git'

I have already given access to the user and generated an ssh key. I have also enabled the lfs option for the repository as explained in here 

This is is a more detailed output

I spent an entire afternoon trying to fix this on my own instance of bitbucket 6.5.1.

Firstly, git-lfs uses HTTP. You must access your repository via HTTP for the LFS portion and this is what's failing.

It turns out that if you have your bitbucket behind an apache or other web server with reverse proxying, apache will not pass the authentication tokens through to bitbucket.

So in our setup, instead of trying to push LFS to https://your.domain.com/bitbucket/  you would need to commit to http://internal-servername:7990/bitbucket.

I hope this helps you, or anyone else who might stumble across this post, as it took too much of my time to figure out!

Enjoy!

Hi @Arturo,

This isn't an answer, but I can't comment on the question itself. Can you please provide some more information to help me diagnose the problem?

What version of Bitbucket Server are you using? Is it possible you are experiencing this issue which was fixed in 5.9?

Also, to try and narrow down the problem, does the same issue happen when you have an http remote? Is the user able to clone the repo via http?
