Re: [orion-dev] Storing credentials for git operations

1a) possibly, likely they are named for the SSH and we don't currently differentiate in displaying the messages. Could you log a bug?
1b) No Git credentials are stored on the Orion server.  You should clear your cache and/or local storage it will be forgotten.  You can see a list of currently remembered Git repo credentials in the User Profile page in the settings.

2) There is currently no way to save the Git credentials on the server.  They are exchanged on each request.

Hi,

I am a little bit confused about the current state of Orion regarding the storage of credentials for git operations. After reading the bugzilla bug [1] and playing with my workspace on orionhub.org there are open questions in two areas

1) git credentials when I use orionhub.org
1a) In my orion workspace I cloned the repo https://github.com/chalstrick/dondalfi. Then I modify a file, stage and create a git commit. When I finally want to push this commit back to github two entry fields pop up: "SSH User Name" and "SSH Password". I am confused here because I am not using SSH in this case. But when I enter my https credentials (user&password) here then the push succeeds.  Shouldn't these entry fields be renamed?
1b) If I enable the storage of git credentials in my settings and when I click "Don't ask me again" when I enter my credentials then I am really not asked anymore - even if I restart the browser. With firebug I can see that when I press the "Push All" button a request containing my  git credentials is sent to the orion backend. So I guess  Orion will not store any credentials on the server side, right?

2) git credentials when using orion as a backend server just used through the REST APIs
2a) If I use orion as a backend server and If I am contacting orion through the rest api do I have to send credentials with every push rest request? Any chance to store credentials on the server side?

Ciao
  Chris
