From Eclipse Corner: Hi, I just installed Eclipse 0.9 build 0.125 and was trying to use it with CVS. Well, it turns out that I use CVS on SSH using an RSA private key. TortoiseCVS will automatically use this key, at c:\ssh\.ssh\identity. WinCVS will allow me to use this key too (give path to it). Even Tera Term Pro with the SSH extension will aloow me to use it either with login/password or with login+RSA key file. But I didn't find in Eclipse how to do this. It keeps asking me for the password - it should not, because my private key is not passphrase-protected anyway. It should do like WinCVS, which allows me to point to the RSA key to use. So, if you know how to make Eclipse work on SSH with an RSA private key instead of the traditional user&password, let me know. Thanks. marcio NOTES: Jean-Michel (9/24/01 10:52:59 AM) This should be configurable on a per connection basis.
PRODUCT VERSION: R1.0
The Java SSH implementation does not seem to be able to use RSA keys for authentication, as far as I can tell. However, this is possible using the new EXT plugin. This PR can probably be marked as fixed.
Hmm, according to http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~fapp2/software/java-ssh/ the applet does indeed support RSA authentication, we could investigate how easy it would be to reveal this functionality to the user. (i.e. if it's as easy as asking the user for the location of the key and then passing it to the connection method, it might be worth it).
marked as enhancement.
Reopening
I believe this will be address in the work Boris is doing with ssh.
This is not supported by our SSH1 code. This will be part of the coming support for SSH2.
