I've had Eclipse installed for quite a while. I upgraded to 2018-12 a few weeks ago. I've had ssh authentication set up for all my git repos (centrally stored in BitBucket Server) for a long time. It's been working perfectly fine.
Today I had to reboot my Windows7 laptop for some automated installations, which happens a few times a month.
I restarted Eclipse and suddenly I'm finding that all of my git repos are failing authentication. I'm seeing this in the log:
!MESSAGE ssh://git#.../....git: No more authentication methods available
!STACK 0
org.eclipse.jgit.api.errors.TransportException: ssh://git#.../.....git: No more authentication methods available

I then went to one of my local repositories in my Cygwin shell and tried a "git pull". This worked perfectly fine.
The only recent change I made that might be related to this is that I installed the Windows version of git, in addition to the Cygwin git. I put it at the end of the PATH. I don't see how that could be affecting this, as Eclipse is using jgit.
Update:
I think I just solved the problem, but I'm not sure what the real problem was.
When I installed 2018-12 a few weeks ago, I thought I noticed a mention of upcoming changes to what the default ssh client would be. I noticed that I was currently set to use JSch, and I thought the release notes said that it would be moving to "Apache MINA", so I decided to change it now and see how it worked. This was working fine for a couple of weeks.
Just now I tried changing that field back to "JSch" and then doing a pull. It worked fine. Just to be sure, I changed it back to "Apache MINA" and tried it again. Still failed. Changed it back to "JSch" and it's working.
I don't know what's going on here.
This is happened to me today... I don't have any clue why it's happening.. I tried removing eclipse and installed again... same problem again... I checked all the settings and everything seemed fine... the error message was not something to guess easily...
What i have done
My ssh keys are not the default one... I have a folders called github, internal and deployed inside ~/.ssh
So, In eclipse I went to Window > Prefrences -> Network -> SSH2 in private keys I have given the path to my keys... but i didn't change SSH2 home directory... this is the culprit.. I will tell you later why
SSH2 Home directory = ~/.ssh
path to private key = ~/.ssh/github/slokesh
I changed ssh client in Preferences -> Team -> git but every single time the same error was showing up...
So, then I went back to step 2, then there I changed SSH2 home directory to ~/.ssh/github and the path to private key to slokesh then it worked...
I hope this helps... if anything is unclear please leave a comment...
I feel that the error message they are throwing could be more verbose and clear. Also, there should be a note in the SSH2 home and private key path fields because the private key path they are taking as relative to SSH2 home. But unfortunately they are not giving...
I am not able to clone or push to a git repository at Bitbucket in Eclipse:
It's weird, because a day before I didn't have any problem. I have downloaded the sts 3 times with no luck. This error keeps showing. Also I have installed SourceTree and it says 'This is not a valid source path / URL':
If I use git commands to import the project, it works, but I wan't to use EGit for this task, since I am a newbie with git.
I don't know if this has to do with it, but in the same directory I have the android-adt-bundle. This one works pretty well, but the project lies on GitHub and not Bitbucket. Also, I'm working with another person and he is able to fetch and push data from and to the Bitbucket repository. I have read lots of posts but none of them have helped me out.
I'm using Windows 7 btw.
Might also be bad SSL cert, fix the server
If you have a GIT server with an outdated or self-signed SSL cert fix the server, afterwards everything should run fine.
Insecure Hotfix: Let the client accept any certificate
The following solution is just a mere hotfix on client side and should be avoided as it compromises security of your credentials and content. There is a detailed explanation for this in "How can I make git accept a self signed certificate?" which offers more complex and more secure solutions you can try out if the following works in general.
In my case it was Eclipse using a different storage for the git config as the command line does and thus not having the option
git config http.sslVerify false
set (which I set using command line for the repo for working with invalid/untrusted SSL cert).
Adding the option insides Eclipse immediately resolves the issue. To add the option
open preferences via application menu Window => Preferences (or on OSX Eclipse => Settings).
Navigate to Team => Git => Configuration
click Add entry..., then put http.sslVerify in the key box and false in the value box.
Seems to be a valid solution for Eclipse 4.4 (Luna), 4.5.x (Mars) and 4.6.x (Neon) on different Operating systems.
It happens due to the following Reasons:
1) Firewall.
2) Network Issues.
3) Proxy Settings Mismatch
4) Connected through different Router - which is not authorized within the network.
5) Git Proxy Authentication Details
Finally I made it work thanks to the steps outlined in the Eclipse forum:
Set up the SSH key stuff
Download and install mysys git according to the github instructions at http://help.github.com/win-git-installation/
In C:/Users/you/ssh hide any existing keys (id_rsa and id_rsa.pub) in a subdirectory. If the ssh directory does not exist, create it. Of course, "you" is your username as the OS knows you.
From the start menu, run Git-Bash command shell (a regular DOS command shell will not work).
In the Git-Bash shell generate an rsa key based on your email (the one you registered at github):
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "you#wherever.com"
and enter your pass phrase and confirm when asked.
The previous step should have created C:/User/you/ssh/id_rsa.pub which you can now open in a text editor and copy. At github, go to account settings, SSH Keys, add a key and paste this in the key box.
In Git-Bash again (notice the back-ticks in the next line):
eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add C:/User/you/ssh/id_rsa
ssh git#github.com
Here is what you just did: You ran the ssh-agent which is needed by ssh-add. Then you used ssh-add to make note of the location of your key. Then you tried to ssh to GitHub. The response to this last command should be that you have successfully authenticated at GitHub but that you don't have shell access. This is just an authentication test. If the authentication was not successful, you'll have to sort that out. Try the verbose version:
ssh -v git#github.com
Assuming this worked....
In Eclipse, configure the remote push
Window > Show View > Git > Git Repositories will add a repository explorer window.
In the repository window, select the repository and expand and right-click Remotes and choose Create Remote.
Copy the GitHub repository URI from the GitHub repository page and paste it in the URI box.
Select ssh as the protocol but then go back to the URI box and add "git+" at the beginning so it looks like this:
git+ssh://git#github.com/UserName/ProjectName.git
In the Repository Path box, remove the leading slash
Hit Next and cross your fingers. If your get "auth fail", restart Eclipse and try step 5 again.
When you get past the authentication, in the next dialog select "master" for source ref, click "Add all branches spec" and "Finish".
Instead of using SSH git#github.com I did it with SSH git#bitbucket.org.
Now I can push and import without any problem.
After struggling for a couple of hours, I found that git config file was not updated when I added the entry sslVerify = false in my Eclipse.
I solved my problem by navigating to my .git directory and updating the config file to :
[http]
sslVerify = false
I added -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2 to eclipse.ini and it's working.
I use java 1.7
I had exactly the same issue with eclipse 2020-12. In Preferences->Git I changed "Http Client" to "Java built-in HTTP" and the issue is resolved.
One cause of this is having Fiddler2 configured to decrypt HTTPS traffic. Close Fiddler2 and it should work fine.
This issue can be caused when you have a local firewall which is preventing your application from being able to send any network traffic away from your machine. I.e. Outbound traffic or egress traffic rules.
Please try disabling your firewall for a quick test to see if this fixes your issue. If it does then setup the appropriate firewall policy for the application you are trying to use to push or pull to a git repository.
Recently I got same problem with existing repository.when I try to fetch from upstream not able Fetched object and got problems eclipse: cannot open git-upload-pack.
for me following solution work after adding TLS version in eclipse.ini file
Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2
For java7 need to add TLSv1.1 and for java8 need to TLSv1.2
Note: Need to restart eclipse once above configuration added.
In my case, it turned out that global proxy settings in "Preferences->Network connections" were interfering with git. Which is kind of confusing, because git has dedicated property for proxy configuration. Anyway, I've added repository host to "Proxy bypass" list and the problem was gone.
I faced "git-upload-pack not permitted" error in STS4 while fetching Bitbucket repository. I struggled for many many hours only to realize we need to use password generated with "Create app password" in Bitbucket (and not our own set password)
URL to generate password: https://bitbucket.org/account/settings/app-passwords/new
Use this password in "Clone a Git repository" in STS4
I just got this same error, "cannot open git-upload-pack", in Eclipse with a BitBucket repo trying to do a pull or a push.
I resolved it by switching local branches (Team/Switch To) to the master branch and doing a pull, and then switching back to the branch I was working on and pulling again.
I'm using Eclipse Kepler SR2 on Ubuntu 12.04LTS and was trying to access an internal GitHub using HTTPS.
Unfortunately, my underlying JVM with which Eclipse was started experienced problems with the self-signed certificate of the server. Switching to a different JVM for Eclipse got the HTTPS connection to our GitHub working.
Create a simple Eclipse starter that uses a different JDK, e.g. with OpenJDK:
/Eclipse_Kepler_4.4.2/eclipse -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386/jre/bin
I got the similar problem. I just followed the below steps
1. Team > Remote > Configure Fetch from upstream...
2. Provide the https: bit bucket uri then Save and Fetch.
3. Reset the latest commit in your project. Team > Reset > Select the latest commit from remote folder
4. Then synchronize the workspace. Team > Synchronize (in synchronize perspective)
5. Right click on project and overwrite the local copy.
6. Click on Pull icon.
The Solution to this in Eclipse Mars 4.5.2:
Window -> Preferences -> Team -> Git -> Repository Settings -> AddEntry
Key: http.sslVerify
Value: false
For those who still have this problem, and none of the above solutions worked for you:
Update your versions of java and Eclipse.
In my case, I updated from java 7 to java 9, and Eclipse Mars to Eclipse Oxygen, and this problem was solved !!!
Add https.sslVerify as false...when you use https connection for importing from git
I had a similar problem and a quick fix to your issue is to make sure that you set your JVM option in the eclipse.ini file to use jre7. Older Jre's come with an old local policy file and this will return errors. One quick note also is that you need to point to your javaw not java.
-vm
c:\PROGRA~2\Java\jre745\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true
I had my proxy settings set up in Eclipse and wasn't connected via ssh, which was causing the error.
i've tried all those methods but it didn't work then a workmate told me that Putty Key Generator used to generate keys with 1024 bits but now Putty generate 2048 bits keys by default , so you just need to change the "Number of bits in a generated key" and it should work.
The problem can also be caused by wrong system time (by a couple of years), making the Git's certificate invalid.
I just changed the Network settings from Native to Manual, restart and the error is gone.
I'm using RAD 8.0.4.3 with and old version of EGit connected to TFS/Git. ;-)
I got this error message because I had a different user than what the repo expected in my git config.
This would obviously trigger the SSL Cert failures mentioned above.
Fixing to the correct user resolved this issue for me.
to fix SSL issue you can also try doing this.
Download the NetworkSolutionsDVServerCA2.crt from the bitbucket server and add it to the ca-bundle.crt
ca-bundle.crt needs to be copied from the git install directory and copied to your home directory
cp -r git/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt ~/
then do this. this worked for me
cat NetworkSolutionsDVServerCA2.crt >> ca-bundle.crt
git config --global http.sslCAInfo ~/ca-bundle.crt
git config --global http.sslverify true
I finally solved this issue by disabling IPv6 on the network configuration
Screenshot of my network configuration
Note that I use a VPN connection. If you do too, you must restart it.
I'm pretty sure that it will work even if you don't use a VPN.
The repository owner should give you a contributor permission:
For the Eclipse running on IBM JDK the following 2 lines are mandatory in eclipse.ini after -vmargs:
-Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2
-Dcom.ibm.jsse2.overrideDefaultTLS=true
i've had the same issue on Spring Tool Suite (STS) and turns out, all i had to do was update my proxy settings in STS network config.
window > preferences > General > Network Connections and on the dropdown select "Manual" from "Native".
Here, just add your proxy url, port and your credentials for http and https by clicking on edit.
Apply and close.
Hope it works for you.
I got this error and after some research found that we need to create an access token in github and use it instead of the password which we have been using till now while git push and pull.
Github developer blog explaining the password deprecation: https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-14-deprecating-password-auth/
I have documented the steps here - you may try it out and see if it works for you.
https://webfuse.in/blogs/issues-troubleshooting/git-upload-pack-not-permitted-on-error-while-git-pull-and-git-push/
Thanks. This looks like an evergreen Question as I am answering after 7 years along with other valid answers!! :)
I had the same error. The error occurred suddenly while working. In my case it looked like an account problem or server side problem.
I sign out and signed in again in Bitbucket repository from web browser and this solved my problem.
I'm using Subclipse to connect to an SVN repository via svn+ssh and a private key (the server has the paired public key). The interface is SVNKit (Pure Java). After I enter the svn+ssh://repository... address I am prompted for credentials. I specify the username and private key file (I did not set a passphrase so it is left blank) and confirm. The window pops up again and this goes on indefinitely. No console message is provided.
Note 1: Marking "Save information" seems to have no effect. If there is a cache I'm supposed to be deleting this could help. I already deleted the keyring file in eclipse.
Note 2: I wasn't sure if the private key should be in SSH2 or OpenSSH formats, but I tried both and there is no difference.
Note 3: I cannot find org.tmatesoft.svn folder under plugins in eclipse. I installed SVNKit from the eclipse update site http://eclipse.svnkit.com/1.7.x.
Specifications:
Windows 7 64 bit,
eclipse 4.2.1 64 bit,
Subclipse 1.8.16,
Subversion client adapter 1.8.3,
SVNKit client adapter 1.7.5.1.
If there is any other information or log file I should provide I would be happy to do so.
I had a similar problem and figured out that I tried to use the private key generated by puttygen, but SVNKit needs an OpenSSH key.
My solution was:
Start PuTTY Key Generator
Load private key
Conversions \Export OpenSSH key
Select openSSH Key in Eclipse
Eventually it turned out that there was a problem with they key. It was encrypted with DSA instead of RSA and the server wasn't set up for it.
Why I got no message about a bad key pair is beyond me, but with a correct key it worked.
1-
under Window => Preferences SVN (or team => svn depending on your version), make sure you selected a library available in yourSystem... for example SVNKIT(Pure Java) .... instead of JAvaHL... which often missing
2-
under Window => Preferences, search for "Secure Storage" and setup a master password (usually clicking on Change Passowrd...). This isn't your svn password but for some reasons i ignore, if this master password is not set, Eclipse won't be able to store and retrieve your svn password when you click the save password..
I fixed this by generating a SSH key in PEM format
ssh-keygen -m pem
You can enable SVNKIT logging by creating a .options file in the eclipse home directory. The file should contain the following text:
org.tmatesoft.svnkit/debug=true
org.tmatesoft.svnkit/debug/error=true
org.tmatesoft.svnkit/debug/warning=true
org.tmatesoft.svnkit/debug/info=true
org.tmatesoft.svnkit/debug/fine=true
org.tmatesoft.svnkit/debug/trace=true
Then run eclipse with the -debug command line argument
I would not worry about Note 3. If you open Eclipse Preferences and go to Team > SVN and you can select SVNKit, then it is installed and available. On my system, it is a JAR in the plugins folder.
SVNKit is in charge of the SSH process, so you could visit their forums and email support#svnkit.com for information and ideas.
My recollection is that they normally cache the information for the duration of the Eclipse session, so not sure what is going on. If you keep responding to all the prompts does everything work? If not, then maybe you are being prompted because it cannot successfully use your credentials?
They have a Troubleshooting section in their wiki: http://wiki.svnkit.com/Troubleshooting
I'm following the instructions for installing Ardor3D as an Eclipse Project Set via Subclipse; instructions at:
http://www.ardor3d.com/wiki/svneclipsetutorial
I installed Subclipse from
http://subclipse.tigris.org/
and installed fine. If I go to Eclipse's Preferences and Team|SVN I can see that the SVN Interface Client is JavaHL, and hence installed fine.
However, when I come to checkout the code at:
http://ardorlabs.svn.cvsdude.com/Ardor3Dv1
by selecting New|Other|SVN|Check Projects from SVN I get the following error message:
RA layer request failed
svn: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://ardorlabs.svn.cvsdude.com/Ardor3Dv1'
svn: OPTIONS of 'http://ardorlabs.svn.cvsdude.com/Ardor3Dv1': could not connect to server (http://ardorlabs.svn.cvsdude.com)
I know the URL is valid as I can install the above fine on my work m/c of WinXP. However, the same installation on my personal laptop of Win7 fails to connect.
I tried temporarily disabling the firewall and it still fails.
I've tried playing around with the config and server files in:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Subversion
but to be honest not 100% sure as what to change, if anything as I'm not using proxy settings.
If there's an expert out there who's knows the solution to this problem I would greatly appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks
Graham
PS. I find the error message "RA layer request failed" confusing as the URL is valid.
I had exactly the same problem, which turned out to be caused by a proxy server. The solution to my problem was to configure subversion to work with the proxy server, however it was not obvious how to do this.
You should have a directory similar to : C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Subversion
In that directory there will be a file called servers.
I un-commented and edited the following entries and my subversion is now working fine with Eclipse:
http-proxy-host
http-proxy-port
http-proxy-username
http-proxy-password
Why exactly you can't configure this through Eclipse is abit of a mystery, but there you go.
Another user account could login, I got the error as described above. The difference was the Proxy setting which was missing in my account. It is stored per user in the Registry and I could easily change this in the Tortoise SVN config.
We encountered this error with our server. While we were able to successfully access the CollabNet 5 SVN admin console, navigating to the repository to browse it from the admin console would fail. We also were not able to connect from Subclipse clients.
The problem turned out we were not hitting the correct port on the server. We had reconfigured the default port from 80 to 4343 and the admin console reported the changed setting but the server was still running on 80.
For what it's worth, in order for the configuration change to stick, we had to bring the repo server down and make the change in the admin console and then restart the machine. We were then able to browse the repo from the link in the admin console.
since I use SpringSource ToolSuite 2.7.1 and installed the latest Subclipse Plugin (1.6.x), this plugin ask's me every time I commit something into the repo for my password, regardless I've enabled the 'Save Password' checkbox. As I know, the Subclipse plugin doesn't store the credentials itself, instead use the authentication informations from the underlying SVN adapter so I try the following without any success:
1) delete ~/.subversion/auth
2) delete ~/.eclipse_keyring
After restarting STS the password dialog prompts again every time.
With Eclipse Indigo and the same Subclipse Plugin installed, this strange behavior doesn't happend, the passowrd is taken automatically as expected.
If I use svn from the command line, after I initially enter my passwords, it's used automatically and doesn't annoying me any longer.
Any sugggestions, why this doesn't work under SpringSource Toolsuite ?
Kind regards
Dominik
SOLVED: the reason was, that the STS.app do not has access to the MacOS X KeyChain for the SVN password. So therefor it has to ask again and again. The used Eclipse.app was added as trusted app for accessing the stored svn password. Strangely, I can't add STS.app to the list of trusted apps for the SVS password entry, but thats another question here. If I activate the 'access for every program' checkbox, STS.app is enable to read this password and don't ask any longer !
I don't have much experience with the subclipse plugin. I tried it a few times some years ago and it didn't go well for me. I then switched to subversive. I have not experienced this problem with the subversive plugin, and so perhaps you could try switching and seeing if this will help you.
I would try deleting or renaming the ~/.subversion folder. There are also settings in the config and servers file that can prevent password storage. You also do not mention what access method you are using ... for example passwords are not stored for svn+ssh://
It would also be relevant to know if you are using JavaHL or SVNKit. JavaHL is native Subversion so passwords are cached in ~/.subversion/auth. SVNKit caches passwords in the Eclipse keyring, but I believe it will read from the SVN password cache if it is already there -- or at least used to.
Finally, since it works with Eclipse but not STS (and there should be no reason why) maybe check permissions? Is STS running as a different user for some reason?
The settings for the secure storage are equal. But it seems, that these setting aren't used, the mentioned file doesn't exist. In the meantime I've installed the STS 2.7.2 update and a fresh Subclipse Plugin, but without success, the dialog popups again for every commit. After that, I create a new user, copy the whole STS 2.7.2 install dir including Maven, tc and the just installed Subclipsed plugin to a dir shared for all users. I have to fix the file permissions of the maven subdir due to lack of read permissions for the new user. I checked out a project from svn and modified it. After the initially question for username/password, this dialog don't popups any longer. It seems, that for this new user, things went fine. I switch back to the original user and start STS 2.7.2. from exactly the same place, the shared dir. But ... you predict it ... the dialog popups again and again and again .... It seems to be something wrong with any of my user settings, but which one ? I've delete ~/.subversion/auth and the whole ~/.subversion too. No way to avoid the constant question for the password for the given user. Mhm, strange, any further tips or suggestions ?
