Create new project in Gerrit

[Claudia Santos]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a new project in Gerrit with the following command:


ssh -p 29418 mydomain.com gerrit create-project --name projects/project_name

Then i got this message:

The authenticity of host '[mydomain.com]:29418 ([172.17.27.186]:29418)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 80:a0:09:ce:2e:aa:97:95:2a:d3:54:d2:e5:e6:63:ad.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added '[mydomain.com]:29418,[172.17.27.186]:29418' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Admini...@mydomain.com's password:
Permission denied, please try again.

Gerrit, GIT and Cygwin are installed in a Windows Server 2003. I'm logged as Administartor.
SSH uses the logged user to authentication and then it fails to authenticate against the Windows Domain. Why does SSH use the logged user? How can i change that configuration?
Actually is Gerrit configurated with HTTP authentication, that means, there is a file with Gerrit users and Apache HTTP Server uses it to authentication purposes.

I attempted as well to use H2 Console to insert the new project in the Gerrit's Table Projects, but i didn't find either projects or branches tables in ReviewDB.h2.db, it seems to be empty. Is there a schema that i could apply?



Thanks in advance,

Santos

to be able to use the sshd-based create-project command you will first
have to register your ssh key with gerrit using its web ui. You will
get the opportunity to set/change your ssh username as well in the
same page.

Once you have done so you can either do:

ssh -p 29418 mydomain.com gerrit create-project --name projects/project_name

or

ssh -p 29418 user...@mydomain.com gerrit create-project --name
projects/project_name

(use the latter form if the username you registered does not
correspond to your local OS username).

Of course, even if you do login successfully, the command will only be
successful if you have the requisite permissions to create projects.

Thanks Ishaaq,

I registered SSH keys for the Gerrit users, then i tried again to
create the project:

C:\review_site>ssh -p 29418 csa...@mydomain.com gerrit create-project
--name projects/xg-im
csa...@mydomain.com's password:

Permission denied, please try again.

With my user, that is as well Gerrit's administrator, SSH asked a
password, but canno't validate it.

With another Gerrit user, SSH asked the passphrase. It accepts the
passphrase but didn't complete the command due the user isn't an
administrator.

C:\review_site>ssh -p 29418 Admini...@mydomain.com gerrit create-
project --name projects/xg-im
Enter passphrase for key '/home/Administrator/.ssh/id_rsa':
fatal: Not a Gerrit administrator

Any clues?

regards,

Santos

If its asking for a password it usually indicates that either ssh is
using the wrong keyfile or couldn't find one. I don't use Windows or
Cygwin so have no idea where the default location for keyfiles on your
OS is. Normally on a Unix machine your private key should be located
at:

~/.ssh/id_rsa OR ~/.ssh/id_dsa

So, find out where the default equivalent location is on Windows and
double check to see whether that is indeed the key file you should be
using.

Alternatively you can use:

ssh -i /path/to/private_key_file -p 29418 csa...@mydomain.com gerrit
create-project .....

to explicitly specify a keyfile.

Finally, you can run ssh in verbose mode to give you some hints as to
what is happening behind the scenes:

ssh -v -i /path/to/private_key_file -p 29418 csa...@mydomain.com
gerrit create-project .....
