Re: [eclipse.org-committers] Bugzilla outage for security reasons

[Nick Boldt <codeslave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you'd like a quick primer on how to generate and set up SSH keys, have a
look here:

http://www.eclipse.org/emft/doc/emf_procedures.html#releaseProcess_promoteBuild
(see paragraph starting with "To grant yourself ssh access from your build
server to eclipse.org")

Instructions are a little different if you're connecting from Windows to
dev.eclipse.org rather than Linux. In that case I recommend googling for
PuTTY and reading its config instructions, or googling for WinSCP3 (great
tool for scp/sftp connectione between Windows and remote ftp/ssh-accessible
servers; also lets you keep directories in synch between local and remote,
which rocks for testing changes that need to be on a remote box, without
having to commit 'em to CVS and extract them on remote). WinSCP3 comes with
a puttygen.exe tool for generating SSH keys.

I apologize for being unclear, I meant RSA keys for authentication
(instead of using their committer password).  The SSH host keys for
dev.eclipse.org have not been changed.

RSA keys are optional. Folks who were using RSA keys had set that up
themselves, and they should know how to regenerate new ones.
