Description Stephane Begaudeau CLA 2012-02-03 03:40:26 EST 
Orion 0.4 M2

My private key is not in the "default" directory for ssh keys and while in Eclipse I can "tell" Eclipse to look into this repository, I can't in Orion, as such when I enter my ssh password it does not work (maybe a message telling me that "my password does not work / my private key is not found / everything worked" could be added). The command line interface of git successfully found my private key and entering my password worked there.

You have to paste your private key into the authentication dialog. Orion does not scan your local folders for keys. So even if it is in the default location, you still have to paste it into the auth dialog. There are improvements planned in this area most likely during .5. Gosia may point you to bugs and elaborate what is planned.

The issue is that Orion is a multi-user server. The username that is running the server is not often going to be related to an particular user of the Orion client. I think we have another bug somewhere about at least caching keys on the client so you only have to provide it once.

This is the bug for caching: Bug 359952.

I opened Bug 370582, we where talking about doing it for a while, but somehow the bug was never opened. Solving it will probably solve the problem in this bug.
And this bug is a candidate for WONTFIX for me, because we will never allow the web application to browse the client's filesystem and get private keys from it and send them over without user's explicit action.
