IDEA: Subversion Integration "Authentication Failed" with private key

IDEA can only use OpenSSH private keys (this is different to the type that
Putty is able to use in saved sessions).

Using puttygen:

Conversions>Import Key (id_dsa)

Conversions>export OpenSSH Key (save as: IDEA.ppk)

To check that it's successfully converted:

Press 'Load' button (idea.ppk)

You should get a message along the lines of:

" Successfully imported foreign key (OpenSSH SSH-2 private key).

To use in putty sessions you will need to press 'save private key' button. "

You should be able to use this key with IDEA.

Hello!

>

I'm using: Intelli j IDEA 7.0.3 build: 7757 on Windows XP.
I can't browse my svn repository - I get "Authentication Failed" when
trying
to authenticate with a private key.
I can use plink/putty to autologin to the server with this private key.

Can anyone help ?

Latest build of Diana, I followed these steps and authentication still fails. It worked previously then when I reinstalled it now fails.

All works fine in Putty.

The second post was very helpful. Thanks.

This appears to be an issue in 8.0.1 as well. I think that, at the very least, this restriction should be documented.
