I have installed RubyMine on OS X and Windows 7, and neither can connect to GitHub.
Both computers have SSH configured and can connect to GitHub using SSH on the commandline.
Both give me the same error when attempting to configure GitHub in Preferences:
Is this a known issue, or is there something else I need to configure?
Make sure you've specified key and its password propely, note that the key file must be in OpenSSH format. You can convert it using puttygen.exe on Windows or ssh-keygen on Mac.
Usually you would log into GitHub with your email address and password, but for RubyMine you need to provide you username (not email) and password.
If your SSH keys are valid then you should not have any issues logging in.

I have connected to a remote Ubuntu host from Windows using VS Code and using it for remote development. Often times I open different code repositories in VS Code but every time I have to open a different folder despite having the connection established the VS Code ask for password.
It seems that once we are commented to a remote host then successive opening of different folder from same host should not prompt for password.
Is there any setting I am missing or should do to resolve this or save password.
I'm assuming you're connecting to an ssh remote.
There are two ways to authenticate an ssh connection, via password and via public/private key. When using the latter you don't need to enter the password each time.
To use the public/private keys here's what you have to do:
You first need a pair (public/private) of ssh keys. On windows you can use ssh-keygen to generate them for you and put them in the default ssh config folder ( ~/.ssh/)
You then have to configure the remote server to allow your ssh key, you can do this in two ways:
with the ssh-copy-id command if available (I think on windows it's not there, but you can try)
by manually add your public key (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) to the.ssh/authorized_keys file on the host machine
Here's a link to know more about passwordless logins via ssh: https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/passwordless-ssh
Open git bash on Windows
cd .ssh
ssh-copy-id -i id_ed25519.pub your-username#your-server
I am trying to push pom.xml file to github using CMD
gave my remote url
then asked my username I did that
but I cant enter my password, non keys are working
please help. thank you.
If you are using an https URL (check what git remote -v returns), then maybe your credentials are cached in the Windows Credential Manager.
If you are using an SSH URL, maybe you did not register your public SSH keys (and it defaults to asking for username, although it should ask for password next)
I have issue regarding SSH connection with my server. When i try to connect it results into error:"Bad authentication type(allowed_types=['publickey'])"
Thanks
You need to ensure that your private key is in openssh format. With puttygen you can export as Openssh. This worked for me.
Check your username and public key this can cause problem.
Attach the private key file with extension .ppk
Also verify your connection with putty.
Also check for the restriction on server.
FYI, my company uses a Yubikey and so the SSH part can be a bit mysterious. However, walking through a shell login with the yubikey yinit command, to ssh to IP (no password needed here), and finally to connecting mysql (still shell), I attempted to MySQL Workbench a few times with my different passwords to no avail.
Finally, I noticed the "SSH Key File" field and looked up where my .ssh file was -- /Users/myProfile/.ssh/
Set the "id_rsa.pub" file as it and voila!
Everything worked.
This week I set up an new GitLab server. It is running.
Yesterday I forced him to be reachable via HTTPS for secure communication.
In Eclipse I generated an RSA-Key via the preferences.
But if I try to import an Git-Project (git#DOMAIN:GROUP/PROJECT.git) then:
without password filled in, I got the response: Auth fail: Invalid password or missing SSH key.
with my password filled in (but git username), I got the response:
Auth fail: Invalid password or missing SSH key.
with my user & password, I got the response:
Auth fail: Invalid password or missing SSH key.
Via HTTPS I get the response:
cannot open git-upload-pack
Please, what do I don't see?
From my answer from here:
I faced the same issue while migrating my project from github to bitbucket and this is how I resolved it:
Introduction: I will describe the ssh key usage here. A user generates a unique key to connect to remote machines using ssh. So you can create it locally. After, user uploads the keys to the remote machines where want to connect without password and more securely. On Git, the same thing happens, user creates a ssh key and uploads the generated key value to the git system providers like Github or Birbucket. After uploading your unique key, you must configure your development environment to let your git system provider communicate providing security over ssh key.
1) I was using ssh key to push my commits to remote with github in eclipse, the ssh key is set at window -> preferences -> General -> Network Connections -> SSH2 for eclipse (on git pushes, this ssh key is used if set). If you do not have any ssh keys on your machine then follow this article to generate one for you and set it into eclipse at the path above.
2) In your github or bitbucke account, find the screen where you can save your ssh key. For bitbucket, it is at https://bitbucket.org/account/user/[user-name]/ssh-keys/. '[user-name]' here is your user name at bitbucket. Open your 'id_dsa.pub' file (where you generated your ssh key) with a text editor, select all, copy and paste into your github/bitbucket accounts' ssh key addition section and then click add.
3) At eclipse, be sure to use the 'ssh' GIT URI for your project. Go to Window -> Preferences -> Team -> Git -> Configuration, click 'Repository Settings' tab and paste your GIT ssh URI to remote.origin.url.
4) Finally try to push your commits to remote. You mustn't face any errors, if you have please comment under my answer.

Recently, I did have similar issues with GitLab but fixed it with:
First, I generated the ssh-rsa by using the MAC-OSX CLI and exported to GitLab. Git CLIs were working but no luck from Eclipse.
Then, I went to Eclipse > Preferences... > General > Network Connections > SSH2, Key Management tab, I regenerated the key from Eclipse but using the "Generate RSA key..." button. It had "RSA-1024" at the end, and exported to GitLab.
https and ssh are two different communication protocols.
If you want to access your GitLab repos with https url, you should use https url:
https://yourLogin#DOMAIN/group/project.git
If you are using git#DOMAIN:GROUP/PROJECT.git, it is an ssh url.
Now: ssh cloning should work provided you have correctly setup your SSH id_rsa and id_rsa.pub in your Eclipse: see EGit SSH configuration.
Make sure:
your private key isn't password protected at first.
your public key (id_rsa.pub) is published on your GitLab profile
I want a easy way to save, copy and edit files on a remote server. I'm using Eclipse as an IDE, what could be better for these tasks than RSE(Remote System Exlporer) plugin for Eclipse. The thing is that I dont know how to make a connection using a public key. I have file that I downloaded from my Amazon account, *.pem. But I don't see any forms or inputs for this, when I try to connect to my remote Linux server. It is just User-id and password. I also tried to open the public key using the system's text editor and copy everything to my password field, but it didn't worked. Pls help me
this was baking my noodle for a while too. you put the keys in a folder not in the RSE config but in the whole of eclipse
check this: http://siteadmin.gforge.inria.fr/eclipse-ssh.html
Not mentioned (at least in explicitly) is the fact that RSE (and for what I've seen, Eclipse in general) only seems to work with 1024 bit keys https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=404714
I also had issues, because my privatekey was 2048, but I added a new key to authorized hosts and then I could connect.
I added my local computer's ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the remote /home/ec2-user/.ssh/authorized_keys.
Then just set the user to connect in RSE to ec2-user when connecting.
Someone asked for root login. It works too: update /root/.ssh/authorized_keys, and edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow root login:
#PermitRootLogin forced-commands-only
PubkeyAuthentication yes
Then reload the sshd daemon: service sshd restart
