Re: [ptp-dev] New email address/GIT setup

Dave,
Forward that to webmaster@ eclipse.org. They can get you fixed up.
I presume you changed your email address in the portal first?

As a result of my retirement from IBM I am trying to set up my Eclipse accounts so I can participate as an individual committer in 2014. I've run into a bit of difficulty and confusion with GIT setup.

My old email address was dwootton@xxxxxxxxxx and my new email address is drwootton@xxxxxxxxxx. I have updated my Eclipse portal information to use the new email address.

I was able to import PTP code into a workspace but I had to use the URL
ssh://dwootton@git.eclipse.org:29418/ptp/org.eclipse.ptp. I found that I didn't need to enter my password in the import dialog, presumably because I have uploaded a public ssh key.

If I tried using the URL ssh://drwootton@git.eclipse.org:29418/ptp/org.eclipse.ptp then I get an error message telling me 'Auth fail: invalid password or missing SSH key'. I'm doing this from the same Linux userid that works with the first URL.

I'm guessing this is because I don't have a 'drwootton' git userid. If I try to login when prompted at the URL https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/settings/http-password using either 'drwootton' or 'drwootton@xxxxxxxxxx' I get an error 'Cannot assign user name'.

I'm concerned about this because I seem to have two identities Eclipse knows about, dwootton and drwootton, and that at some time in the future something is going to go wrong with my dwootton id like an expired password or I'm going to forget about it.

A second problem is that I cannot log on when prompted at https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/settings/http-password using either dwootton or dwootton@xxxxxxxxxx. I've apparently forgotten whatever password is associated with that URL and can't find any way to reset it. (My Eclipse portal password doesn't work here either)
