Using SSH authentication with JGit to Access a Git Repository Securely / Auth fail

Question

I'm using JGit in scala to access a remote Git repo, and I need to use SSH for authentication. JGit uses JSch to provide secure access.

I followed this tutorial : http://www.codeaffine.com/2014/12/09/jgit-authentication/

However, i have always, an ,com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Auth fail

my method is:

def sshCloneRemoteRepository() = {

// 1 / Override SSH configuration with JschConfigSessionFactory
val sshSessionFactory: SshSessionFactory  = new JschConfigSessionFactory() {

  override protected def createDefaultJSch(fs: FS): JSch = {
    val defaultJSch = super.createDefaultJSch(fs)
    defaultJSch.removeAllIdentity()
    defaultJSch.addIdentity(new File("/home/xw/.ssh/id_rsa").getAbsolutePath)
    defaultJSch.setKnownHosts("/home/xw/.ssh/known_hosts")
    val configRepository:ConfigRepository = com.jcraft.jsch.OpenSSHConfig.parseFile("/home/xw/.ssh/config")
    defaultJSch.setConfigRepository(configRepository)
    defaultJSch
  }

  override protected def configure(host:OpenSshConfig.Host, session:Session ) {
    // This still checks existing host keys and will disable "unsafe" authentication mechanisms
    // if the hostkey doesn't match.
    session.setConfig("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no")
  }
}

// 2 / Preparing cloneCommand
val cloneCommand: CloneCommand = Git.cloneRepository()
cloneCommand.setURI(sshOriginRepositoryPath)
cloneCommand.setDirectory(localRepository)
cloneCommand.setRemote(originBranch)
cloneCommand.setTransportConfigCallback( new TransportConfigCallback() {
  override def configure(transport:Transport ) {
    val sshTransport:SshTransport = transport match {
      case t:SshTransport => t
      case _ => throw new ClassCastException("Variable of type Transport cannot be cast to the SshTransport")
    }
    sshTransport.setSshSessionFactory(sshSessionFactory)
  }

})

but I have always, this exception:

Answer 1

I Solved my problem, the code is fine, but the Auth fail problem is caused by my proxy configuration that i have in my .ssh/config file ( My machine => Amazon AWS Machine => Stach Git Server ) , So the code in this tutorial : http://www.codeaffine.com/2014/12/09/jgit-authentication/ word fine, thanks Rudiger
