svn+ssh with private key in #3200?
Hi,
I'm trying to use the svn plugin in svn+ssh mode using a private key. It seems this is not yet supported. However as the plugin seems to be using JSch under the hood, I thought that adding the following system property in idea.bat would make it work:
-Djavasvn.ssh2.key=/path/to/my/private/key
Sadly it does not seem to help and I still get a "Auth fail" message. That's probably because the plugin must be forcing Jsch to use username/pwd credentials (even though I have left the username blank).
Could you please confirm there's no way I can get it work as is?
Thanks

Actually, it does work. I was just using a putty private key which is not accepted by jsch. By using puttygen I was able to generate a private key in openssh format. I was also not setting the username which is required.
For those intersted make sure you have javasvn 0.8 or later as there is a hack inside to support the javasvn.ssh2.key system property... (done for subclipse but which comes handy here ;)).
Thanks

Hi Vincent
Thanks for that Think Tank there. But I still can't get the svn+ssh to work using javasvn 0.8.3 and i can't get hold of 0.8.0
The message that I get is "Cannot checkout from svn: com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Auth fail" and I am never prompted for the private key password
I am using Idea build# 3229.
Your input is much appreciated.
Regards

I had that as well with the latest EAP. Unfortunately, IDEA also
corrupted my repository checkout as well :(
It somewhat buggered up the the files in the .svn/text-base directory :(
I guess JetBrains guys are not interested in properly integrating SVN into IDEA specially using SSH. I mean if you look at the forums SVN problems have been reported since 2002 and not ever even once has it been resolved to satisfaction. I mean look at CVS, Star Team their integration is so mature.
