add repo on windows 8

[Sergey Ivanov]

Hello, how can I fix the problem (for generated key too) on windows 8:

Error testing connection.
Error talking to repository:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

Hi Sergey,

What version of FishEye are you using? There was a change in 3.3.1 that might be related - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/FE-5084(and https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/FE-4984).

Before 3.3.1 we tried to set permissions on the key files. As it only worked in some cases, and there is no reliable api to do that on Windows we stopped trying to do that, relying on the administrator to set up the permissions for the FISHEYE_INST directory appropriately.

The error you're getting seems to come from your ssh client expecting the permissions for the keys to be more restrictive. Please check the permissions using cygwins ls command, and make sure they haven't been changed by FishEye if you're using a version before 3.3.1.

You can't define your own key names for generated ssh keys - any reason you would need that?

Hi Sergey,

Do you have cygwin installed on your Windows 8 machine? Basically you have to locate this 'key' file and change it's permissions to one that allows only you to access it.

chmod 0600 /foo/bar/key

The above command should do the trick.

Best regards,

Felipe Alencastro

I have cygwin; I have tried, but it did not help.

And why when I click 'Test connection', seems, fisheye reload key under other generated name? And if I use 'Generate key pair for ssh', how can i define name of generated private key?

Commands continue to return with the exception 'Unable to clone remote repo..':

git clone --bare -v ssh://git@github.com:myrepo.git clone

git clone --bare -v git@github.com:myrepo.git clone
