Redmine Git authentication

Added by Joost Buijgers over 13 years ago

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to integrate Git into Redmine (1.4.0), but every time I try to clone a repository from my Git server it says 'fatal: Authentication failed'. The command I am using is 'git clone http://user:pass@git.domain.ext/project.git'. Where 'user:pass' equals a user in the Redmine system/database.

I updated my /usr/share/redmine/extra/svn/Redmine.pm according to Issue #4905 to get the RedmineGitSmartHttp trigger to work. Redmine.pm is linked (ln -s) at /usr/lib/perl5/Apache/Redmine.pm

Is there any way I can debug this process, like beeing able to see what kind of data is send to Redmine.pm. I'm suspecting Redmine.pm isn't comparing the login data the right way.

Redmine Git authentication [Solved] - Added by Joost Buijgers over 13 years ago

Solved it!

I enabled MySQL logging to see the exact query it was executing, I noticed that it was using the wrong project identifier. In the URL 'http://user:pass@git.domain.ext/project.git' the .git file is used a the project identifier, therefore these must have the same name or it will just return an empty result set.

Hope this helps anyone!
