Jenkins Unable to Clone Stash Repository

[Jeff Thomas]

We're having trouble getting Jenkins to clone any of our Stash repositories over HTTP or HTTPS.

The URL in the Jenkins job is http://stash.company.com:7990/scm/project/repo.git, when the job is run, we get the following error in Jenkins:

We require authentication for our repos and I'm currently trying to use a .netrc file to send the username and password. I've also tried passing the username and password in the URL (ie. http://user:pass@stash.company.com:7990/scm/project/repo.git).

Catalina.out for Jenkins seems to indicate that it's using an "Atlassian Stash" user.

Oct 10, 2013 4:10:13 PM org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector processWWWAuthChallenge
INFO: No credentials available for BASIC 'Atlassian Stash'@stash.company.com:7990

I am able to clone the repository from the command line running as the Jenkins user.

git clone http://stash.company.com:7990/scm/project/repo.git

What am I doing wrong?

I turned on SSH in Stash and used that instead of HTTP, it's now working.
