It seems that the extssh connection mechanism has problems connecting to a server using pam-ldap authentication. We just switched our cvs server over to this and several users started having problems. Linux, Windows, and OSX users all had problems several versions of Eclipse are being used. Using the ext connection mechanism works fine. Here is someone with the exact same problem: http://blogs.cocoondev.org/crafterm/archives/001940.html It seems that extssh uses ssh1, so a search on this turned up that some other ssh clients have trouble mixing ssh1 and ldap: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104576 In the CVS Repostories view the symptom is a long pause or error when opening a folder. First the sub folders are displayed and then a "Pending..." is shown for a while. Sometimes the "Pending..." disappears, sometimes a "I/O has been interrupted." error message happens.
The SSH client in Eclipse 3.0 does support SSH2 by using a Java SSH2 client (JSch). I've copied the provider of that client in case he can offer any insight into why there may be problems using pdap authentication.
Hi, I'm developing jsch, which is the core of extssh. I'm not so famillar with pam-ldap authentication for ssh, but I guess it will use the keyboard-interactive authentication. The recent Eclipse SDK 3.1(or later) has supported keyboard-interactive authentication. Can you try Eclipse SDK 3.2 M6?
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
