Setting up jenkins on centos: problems with ssh keys and git

Question

Went through a lot of questions, but nothing seems to be solving my issue. Or to be more precise I am not sure if I am doing the whole thing correctly. So here it is:

Ha

Answer 1

1) First make jenkins as real user by editing /etc/passwd file Change

/bin/false to /bin/bash

2) Login to jenkins user, Now Jenkins home directory will be /var/lib/jenkins

su - jenkins

3)Generate ssh keys again ( keys will be created in /var/lib/jenkins/.ssh)

ssh-keygen -t rsa

4) copy id_rsa.pub key and paste in your git's authorized_keys file

5) Still if it won't work, probably you have to check permissions of your .ssh directory and contents

chmod 700 ~/.ssh && chmod 600 ~/.ssh/*
