I am trying to clone remote CDT repository via ssh in new workspace but having problems both in Import wizard and from Git Repositories perspective. I setup my ssh key correctly but in this scenario obviously haven't entered my passphrase yet. When I try to clone the repository I would expect "Enter your passphrase" dialog. Instead, I am getting "Auth fail". My ssh key is working fine. As a workaround I can export existing repository on disk making use of the ssh key and access it once entering the passphrase so it gets into the system. After that I can clone the first repository with no problems.

You dont reference what platform you are using (Windows, Mac etc).... I found your problem to happen when it is not really finding the public key location. So for windows that would be that the key is actually in c:/Users/xyz/.ssh/id_rsa.pub but the default in Eclipse (General/Network Connections/SSH2) defaults to c:/Users/xyz/ssh .... For some reason the default is "ssh" and not ".ssh". The problem I am getting is this error message "Cannot list the available branches. Reason: ssh://git@xxx.xxx.xx:22: Passphrase for c:/Users/campo/.ssh/id_rsa Some as you I never got a chance to actually enter a passphrase....(my problem is with the nightly build of 1.Aug though...so a pretty edgeeee version....)

I have opened a separate bug for my problem, since I am not sure it has the same cause… https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=353561. Also the problem with the passphrase that I am having only exist in the nightly build of 1.1. and not in the 1.0 version.

On Windows I don't even use "ssh" folder, instead I specify my own location. As I said, that works for other workflows and the ssh key is working for this workflow if its passphrase was entered previously elsewhere.
