Windows 7 'fatal: Authentication failed' errors when accessing from git client

[Sean Doyle]

Hi -

I think I've followed the steps properly for setting up the server - I'm able to add users and create repositories via the web client. 

However -when I try to use a cygwin git client (version 1.7.9) I get an authentication failure when trying to clone a repository (or push to one).

I've tried playing with the Bonobo.Git.Server's IIS settings for authentication - right now Basic Authentication is enabled and everything else is disabled. 

How can I debug this? 

Thanks!

Hi,

I would recommend starting with trying one of the latests version of msysgit instead of the client you are using at the moment.

Same here, and I am using Git Extensions.

Is there something I can do with the Authentication or Permissions? 

[Jakub Chodounský]

Don't forget to set correct permissions on the folder with your repositories if it differs from the default settings.

Hi,

I am having a similar issue as well. I can login Bonobo.Git.Server web with no issue but unable to login using git client.

It had be working but without changing any setting, it now become not working anymore.

Any solution for this?

Yeah. After debugging I found a way to solve it by putting the full server name.

Anyway, thanks for a great coding.

How did you resolve it?

Where you have to provide full server path

How did you resolve this issue?

You can use the git client downloadable from here. Also, the VCS built into WebStorm 10 also works.

Here's what I did to test:

1) Set-up the server as per the instructions

2) Create a user account within the bonobo web app

3) Create a repository and give the new user account access to it

4) In the web app under repositories click on the name of the repository you just created

5) Take the URL in the General Url property and replace 'localhost' with the full name of the server i.e: http://host.domain.com/Bonobo.Git.Server/your_project_name.git
