Answer 1

I'm assuming that you have root access if you were able to install the Jenkins RPM. Were you su-ing to the jenkins user while logged in as root ? If not, you should do so or use

sudo su - jenkins

if your logged in user has sudo access.

Then run

ssh-keygen -t rsa

to generate an RSA keypair for the jenkins user, and you can upload the public key to your git server. The key will be generated as /var/lib/jenkins/.ssh.id_ra.pub if you take the defaults.

Answer 2

1 change user jenkins login setting

vi /etc/passwd

update /bin/false to /bin/bash

2 su - jenkins

jekins user home would be /var/lib/jenkins

3 ssh-keygen

cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub

copy this key to bitbucket

4 ssh git@bitbucket.org

this is going to set the bitbucket ssh key in .ssh/known_hosts

Now you should be able to access
