Using EGit 3.3.1.201403241930-r to access an http based server, if the password has changed/is incorrect, EGit will attempt at least 3 times the same credentials before asking for a new password. The problem is my account gets locked after 3 failed attempts, so when I'm prompted for the new password, my account is locked, and subsequent attempts fail even if the password is correct. -> EGit should try only once the credentials. If he gets an Authentication Failed, it should prompt for the new password. I believe the guilty change has been introduced by https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/23441/
this is a consequence of bug 431209 and should be fixed by the proposed fix
This should be fixed in EGit 3.3.2. Could you please update to EGit 3.3.2 from the main update site and verify that it's fixed?: http://eclipse.org/egit/download/
Using 3.3.2.201404171909-r, I still encounter the issue, the plugin does several unsuccessful authentication attemps and gets me locked out.
Reopening.
My detailed scenario : - blank secure storage - try to fetch from an authenticated repo - I get prompted for login/password - I get the master password creation prompt with secret questions - In the mean time I get a new popup for login/password (so I guess the plugin did a new try)
this works for me could you please check if all installed jgit and egit bundles are version 3.3.2.201404171909-r ?
[Batch change] Remove pre-3.7 Target Milestones If anyone on CC list is going to fix/implement this, please assign a new 3.7+ target milestone.
I didn't get the problem for a while (keeping my EGit updated regularly), unfortunately I'm unable to tell on which version it got fixed (maybe on 3.3.2 as Matthias said). Anyway, I'm closing the ticket, thank you for the fix.
