ASF GitHub Bot commented on SCM-832: ------------------------------------ jira-importer commented on issue #1052: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-scm/issues/1052#issuecomment-2964642962 **[Konrad Windszus](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=kwin)** commented I am also affected from that. The PR IMHO looks good, but I think it would be good if the passphrase could not only be entered in the `settings.xml` but is alternatively used the given credentials (that way it would be possible to use `mvn release:prepare -Dpassword=<SSH private key passphrase>`). > maven-scm-provider-jgit should support SSH public key auth > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SCM-832 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-832 > Project: Maven SCM (Moved to GitHub Issues) > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: maven-scm-provider-gitexe, maven-scm-provider-jgit > Affects Versions: 1.9.4 > Reporter: Martin Kutter > Assignee: Olivier Lamy > Priority: Major > Fix For: 1.11.2 > > Time Spent: 10m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > The current mvn-scm-provider-jgit implementation does not support the > explicit use of public key auth. The underlying implementation implicitly > uses ~/id_rsa or ~/id_dsa if present (and not protected by a passphrase). > For most Git repositories (Github, Gitlab, ...), public key authentication is > mandatory for ssh access. > This forces users to either use https, or to rely on a unprotected private > key file. > maven-scm-provider-jgit should support the privateKey and passphrase > attributes available in server entries in maven settings.xml for ssh URLs -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
