Git authentication issue on slave

[Robert Daniels]

We have a private enterprise github system and we use ssh keys for authentication.

I'm running a linux slave, logging in from Jenkins as the same user as I would directly on the slave VM. However, git commands are coming back with an error in the script:

+ git pull
Permission denied (publickey).

If I perform a git clone and place the username and password on the command line it works - but do not want to place clear text passwords into the scripts.

When I run the test Groovy script console and execute a "whoami", it comes back with the correct user.

Everything behaves correctly when entering directly in a terminal on the test/slave VM.

Any ideas?

The credentials plugin will allow you to register an ssh private key for a user. Then you can configure the Jenkins job to use that credential when cloning the repository.
