TeamCity GitHub Private Key Access Denied

Question

Does anyone know of a tutorial for using TeamCity with github with ssh private keys. I have tried to set up git hub to connect and I either get a authentication error or get access denied. I am running TeamCity on Windows 2003. I am running the build agent as a custom account. I am running the web server under the administrator account. I have create a key for the custom account and administrator account. I now get an error that:

The connection test failed: com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.ssh (Access is denied)

If anyone has successfully set this up please help. I am going on 3 hours into this and want to get it solved.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The following VCS Root configuration works for me:

• Clone URL: [email protected]:username/repository.git
• Clone repository to: C:\somepath
• User Name Style: UserId (jsmith)
• Authentication Method: Private Key
• Private Key Path: C:\SSH\myKeyFile.priv
• Passphrase: only if key file is secured with a passphrase

Answer 2

if you haven't figured this out yet...

this config worked out for me

Authentication Method: Default Private Key

UserName: (blank)

Known Hosts Database <<-- CHECK IT!

thats what finally worked after a couple of hours trying to get it to work :)
