UPDATE:
I found the answer. You can't use a pass phrase when you generate the key. (It's an easy mistake to make, since the GitHub instructions strongly suggest that you do use a pass phrase. Presumably the case of deploy keys is an exception).
Have been trying to setup a Jenkins server on Ubuntu 14.04. Have installed Jenkins no problems, but am unable to connect to the secure repository URL. I'm getting permission denied (public key). I have tried a lot of solutions that I researched on the web, but still no success.
Here are the details:
- Jenkins installed no problems and running as user jenkins
- GitHub plugin is installed
- Have followed the github instructions on keygen. I tried this as my own user (kim) on the ubuntu machine, and have also done it as the jenkins user
- Am loading the public key as a deploy key against the github repo
- Am loading the private key directly in the credentials in jenkins
- Have tried numerous different usernames in the Jenkins credentials setup (including git, git@github.com, and my git hub user name)
- The authentication test (ssh -T git@github.com) works no bother
- I have tried this solution, Authenticate Jenkins CI for Github private repository. Again, the ssh test works fine (against the alias), but Jenkins still fails
I'm running out of ideas?
