Smartgit keep popup the login form all the time

Question

Smartgit keep popup the login form all the time!

I have deployed git on my server. Follow exactly the instruction of git setting.

Then I generate open SSH private key by puttygen, fill the passpharse, put the code inside "public key...authorized_keys file:" box to notepad ++.

After that, I copied the key and put to authorized_keys file "git/.ssh/authorized_keys" and remove all endline character in it.

Then I clone repository via "ssh://git@mygitserver:myport/myproject.git", point to open SSH private key generated before, fill the passphrase and login.

I have googled alot and try to change owner to git user, change permission, edit key file but still hopeless.

Smartgit keep popup the login form all the time. How can I fix it?

I cannot connect to repository using SmartGit, neither command line. This is my log content: `

Answer 1

• SmartGit can process only OpenSSH-type keys
• Puttygen generates Putty-type keys

You must convert (with Puttygen) previously created Putty's *.ppk

PuTTY-User-Key-File-2: ssh-rsa
...

to OpenSSH's private key file

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

and use with Smart* line only OpenSSH-version of keys

Answer 2

Thank all! I have solved it myself. My mistake is did not use the absolute path in git link. Also, I didn't set git user's home directory correctly so cause the error permission denied too.

Then remove end line characters from each SSH key on authorized_keys. That'll did the trick!
