USERAUTH fail using JGit to access git repo securely for PullCommand()

Question

I am trying to do a git pull using JGit\'s API with the following code

public class gitHubTest {
    JSch jsch = new JSch();

    // Defining the private key         


        

Answer 1

I could figure out some of the issues I was facing. Here's solution to it:

1. if auth has to be done without the passphrase, generate the id_rsa without passphrase

2. We needed to override getJSch(final OpenSshConfig.Host hc, FS fs) making use of addIdentity in the configure of SshSessionfactory:

   SshSessionFactory sshSessionFactory = new JschConfigSessionFactory() {
       @Override
       protected void configure(OpenSshConfig.Host host, Session sess ion) {
           session.setConfig("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
       }
   
       @Override
       protected JSch getJSch(final OpenSshConfig.Host hc, FS fs) throws JSchException {
           JSch jsch = super.getJSch(hc, fs);
           jsch.removeAllIdentity();
           jsch.addIdentity("/path/to/private/key");
           return jsch;
       }
   };
   

3. We need to call needs to be instantiated differently:

   PullCommand pull = git.pull().setTransportConfigCallback(new TransportConfigCallback() {
   
       @Override
       public void configure(Transport transport) {
           SshTransport sshTransport = (SshTransport) transport;
           sshTransport.setSshSessionFactory(sshSessionFactory);
       }
   });
   

And then call pull instance:

PullResult pullResult = pull.call();

I hope this helps.
