Cloning workflowLibs.git with ssh

[Sverre Moe]

• ssh://USERNAME@server:PORT/workflowLibs.git through Jenkins SSH
• http://LOCATION/workflowLibs.git (when your Jenkins app is located on the url http://LOCATION/). As noted in JENKINS-26537, this mode will not currently work in an authenticated Jenkins instance.

Since the jenkins server is authenticated and using https I have to use ssh:// to clone the workflowLibs.git repository.

I have configured jenkins with SSHD and enabled it on port number xxxxx.

I am not sure which USERNAME to use.

I tried setting a password for the jenkins user, but it wouldn't work cloning workflowLibs.git with that user.

git clone ssh://jen...@jenkins.company.com:xxxxx/workflowLibs.git

Cloning into 'workflowLibs'...
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

For now I have initialized the repository directly on the server:/var/lib/jenkins/workflow-libs and manually transferred the files over. It is not a method I would rely on, but it work for now to get my build scripts in CPS global lib.

You should use your user name on Jenkins. You'll also need to register your public key on Jenkins. See http://LOCATION/me/configure

Yes, that worked. Thanks.

I'll improve the docs. I also want to look into why authentication over HTTPS is not supported. That is a painful bug now that we set up authentication for new instances more aggressively for obvious reasons...
