Good News: Subclipse on Windows Eclipse with Putty plink / pageant

Some good news: we finally got it to work, here's how:
 
-> I uninstalled javasvn, because my eclipse / windows was hanging
afterwards
-> add this env entry: SVN_SSH=plink -ssh -2 -A -l username
-> start pageant and right-click on the icon in the task bar -> add
private key file (import your key)
-> it works now
 
--- it is even nicer if you tunnel the svn communication with a putty
tunnel
-> additionally, to the above,
-> open putty, load your session to the subversion server and add in
SHH/Tunnels:
    Source Port 3690
    Destination: 127.0.0.1:3690
-> In Eclipse, add a new Repository Location, then add a repository url
like this:
    svn://locahost/path to you rep
    Don't choose Rep root URL, leave it free, as well as username and
password (this will pageant / your ppk file do)
 
 
So far!
 
Thanx for the support I got.
 
Cheers\
Sven

It should just work from the SVN_SSH environment variable. Of course you
need to exit and restart eclipse for the change to SVN_SSH to take
effect.

Hi Dan, all.
 
it's getting interesting now... where do you put the second line, that
tells eclipse where your ssh command is?
 
Thanx,

I'm using linux now, but I seem to remember having to work around this
in windows. I wrote a one-line cmd file called plink2.cmd and put it on
my path:

plink -2 %*

Then I told eclipse that my ssh command was plink2.cmd. You can use this
for debugging too, by adding a line like this:

@echo %* >> \temp\plink2.log

to see how plink2 is being invoked. I'm sure others on the list will
have more current methods :)

hth,

Hi Dan, all,

thanx for your help so far. I added the -2, so it now is

plink -2 -l username etc.

Unfortunately, it still does not workd. I can see a putty / windows cmd

window popping up (as it was before, with username/password), but then

nothink happens.

It is interesting: If I try plink on the cmd line, (I have to add the

server address after the command then, but that's clear), it works. So

somehow I think subclipse adds the information about the svn repository

path maybe at the wrong place or...?

Do you use sublcipse with plink and the svn+ssh:// protocoll? Are there

any other options for plinks?

thanx!

Sven

Hi Sven.

Two things:

Firstly, plink uses ssh protocol 1 (the deprecated, buggy one) by

default, so your command should be "plink -2 ..." to force protocol 2

(and enable your ssh2 key). Secondly, you should take a look at pageant,

which is the putty ssh key agent. You run it at startup, type in your

passphrase and then whenever a plink or putty session requires the key,

it talks directly to pageant. (It also gives you a taskbar icon for

launching putty sessions.) This is a huge time saver - it means you can

protect your private key file and not have to type in your password all

the time.

Cheers,

Dan

Hi there,

we got subversion running on a server and are only allowed to connect

via svn+ssh://. It is all set up correctly, TortoiseSVN works great but

I would like to use subclipse directrly from Eclipse.

I set the SVN_SSH environment variable to

plink -l username -i "path to my putty private key file" -A

but it does not work. I previously used password authentication, e.g.

-l

username -p password and it worked great.

Do you have any ideas how we can get it working with public/private key

authentication? Does anyonle of you connect to a subersion server via

svn+ssh:// on a Windows client with Ecliipse and Subclipse?

Any help is appreciated,

thanx, Sven
