[JIRA] [git-parameter] (JENKINS-23396) SSH credentials not supported

[to...@lark-it.com (JIRA)]

Tommy McNeely commented on JENKINS-23396 SSH credentials not supported Workaround You can work around this problem by creating a passwordless SSH key in the "default" location for the jenkins user (in my case that is `/var/lib/jenkins/.ssh/id_rsa`) which has read only access to the repository. The idea of a passwordless SSH key in a "secure" environment is generally frowned upon, but the only thing we grant it access to is read only to the repo. sudo -Hu jenkins ssh-keygen -t rsa # (hit enter three times to accept the default filename and blank password twice) NOTE: If you wanted to be a bit more secure, you could use a different filename for the SSH key (such as `/var/lib/jenkins/.ssh/id_rsa-insecure`) and then modify your `/var/lib/jenkins/.ssh/config` so that only your git server uses that key, but as long as it is not granted access to anything else, it should be "secure enough" ... I guess this would really be useful if you already have a default SSH key used for other purposes. If you need to do that, you probably already know how
