GitLab git user password

Question

I have just installed GitLab.

I created a project called project-x.

I have created few users and assigned it to the project.

Now I tried to clone:

Answer 1

Had the same problem in Windows 10 (don't know if this is relevant). Had everything set up correctly, the ssh -vT git@myserver command succeeded, but Gitlab still asked for my password.

Removing then re-creating the key in Gitlab was the trick for me.

Answer 2

I had the same problem, I spent a lot of time searching!

I had the idea to use Eclipse to import the project from GitLab.

Once the project is imported correctly, I made the comparison between the configuration of :

• the project's Git ripository that I imported into Eclispe, ("in Eclipse", Git Repository, in myprojectRepo / Working Directory / .git / config)
• the one that is made in .git / config, there i wanted to push my project with git: git push ... and asked me for a password.

Surprise: The remote does not have the same in both cases. I handed the same as that in eclipse and everything works.

Answer 3

It prompted me for password.

It shouldn't.
If you have the right public/private key representing a user authorized to access project-x, then gitlab won't ask you for anything.

But that supposes that ssh -vT git@192.168.0.108 is working first.

Answer 4

I am using a mac.gitlab is installed in a centos server.

I have tried all the methods above and found the final answer for me:

wrong:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

right:

 ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your.email@example.com" -b 4096

Answer 5

For my case, it turns out the gitlab was runnign in docker, and has port mapping 4022/22.

Thus I have to edit ~/.ssh/config to specify the port via Port 4022, e.g:

Host gitlab-local
    Hostname        192.168.1.101
    User git
    Port 4022
    IdentityFile    ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
    # LogLevel DEBUG3

Answer 6

I had this same problem when using a key of 4096 bits:

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "GitLab" -b 4096
$ ssh -vT git@gitlabhost
...
debug1: Offering public key: /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa
debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password
debug1: Trying private key: /home/user/.ssh/id_dsa
debug1: Trying private key: /home/user/.ssh/id_ecdsa
debug1: Next authentication method: password
git@gitlabhost's password:
Connection closed by host

But with the 2048 bit key (the default size), ssh connects to gitlab without prompting for a password (after adding the new pub key to the user's gitlab ssh keys)

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "GitLab"
$ ssh -vT git@gitlabhost
