using git with Jenkins , stderr: ssh: Could not resolve hostname : Name or service not known

[Kamal Ahmed]

I am trying to use git with Jenkins.

The URL that i have been given is:

git clone 10.100.243.212:/var/www/invo_app , which works as an LDAP user on command line:

But when i use Jenkins , i get:

Cloning repository ssh:///$GIT_...@1.2.3.4:/var/www/invo_app
git --version
