Bazaar Externals plugin

pull using "login:pwd@"

Asked by farfromrefuge

Hi,

I setup externals in my branch.

the problem i have is that if i do "bzr pull bzr+ssh//login:<email address hidden>" then the pull start correctly but when it comes to doing the pull on the external, it does this
"External pull bzr+ssh://myexternal.address --directory external
Connected (version 2.0, client OpenSSH_5.5p1)
No revisions to pull.
SSH <email address hidden> password: bzr: ERROR: Connection error: Unable to authenticate to SSH host as <email address hidden>"

I suppose that the problem is that the password is not passed through to the external pull.
Can someone help me?

PS: i cant use pageant on this machine(hudson which doesnt see pageant)

Thanks

You have two ways:
1) Put your ssh keys in %HOMEPATH%\.ssh directory, ssh keys must be converted to putty format. %PATH% must be set to putty.exe
2) Put your password in authentication.conf see http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/DraftSpecs/AuthenticationRing

i have not tried 1) yet but 2) gives me this

password ignored in section [sectionName], use an ssh agent instead

Why does it ignore my password?

if my address is like this bzr+ssh://rep.addres/data/branch
i have put a section like this

[sectionName]
scheme=ssh
host=rep.address
path=/data/branch
user=login
password=pwd

do you see something wrong?

Passwords for main branch and for externals may be different.

2) Yes, this case not worked on ssh scheme :( why - I don't know.
Use this config for ask password:

[myexternal.address]
host = myexternal.address
scheme = ssh
user = mguillon

Or try first case.
