Description Tim Patterson

2011-02-23 23:53:43 EST

Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

I'm running git-http-backend on an apache server (WAMP on Windows Server 2008) with the sspi authentication module.  I can successfully use the command-line (msysgit) and GUI to clone the repository; it simply asks for username and password.  Cloning using egit appears to successfully download the list of branches from the server, however cloning itself fails with the error "Git repository clone failed. http://sharp-svn/git/sharp.git: 401 Authorization Required".

I'm using the latest egit snapshot (0.12.0.201102232118).

The error log event details are below:

Same issue here. Standard git server configured behind Apache with Basic Authorization as descriped in #342592. Works perfectly with standard git command line util. 

Upon POST /git/<repo>.git/git-upload-pack the server answers correctly with 401. The git command line tool answers again with the POST including Basic Authorization header, however, egit (1.2.0.201112221803-r) fails with exception as in stated by Tim in the bug description.

Here's the servers 401 answer (payload omitted):

HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required
Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 07:59:21 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.21 (Win32) mod_auth_sspi/1.0.4
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="(null)"
Content-Length: 401
Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
