Would you consider using SSH to authenticate? You can control which private key you use based on your ~/.ssh/config entries, which are case sensitive. You can choose the SSH key to use by playing with the case of the host name, like: github.com Github.com gitHub.com even if your user is "git" in all cases above. It is a bit hacky but it is part of the SSH spec and is supported by git and EGit (as of 5.x). Cheers, Randall -- Randall S. Becker Managing Director, Nexbridge Inc.
