Konrad Windszus commented on SCM-945:
-------------------------------------
The PR updates JGit to 5.13.1 and leverages Apache Mina for SSH instead of
JSch. It does not support SSH agents as support was only added in JGit 6
(requiring Java 11, further details in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=541274)
> Support OpenSSH private keys with maven-scm-provider-jgit
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SCM-945
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-945
> Project: Maven SCM
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: maven-scm-provider-jgit
> Affects Versions: 1.11.2
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Priority: Major
>
> For SSH based authentication with private keys in the OpenSSH format the
> following error is being emitted: {{invalid privatekey: ...}}
> This is due to the use of JGit 4.5.4
> (https://github.com/apache/maven-scm/blob/c5eb2c187568809e0dc0ea9ac83031f1dcb5ad1a/maven-scm-providers/maven-scm-providers-git/maven-scm-provider-jgit/pom.xml#L53)
> which used JSch which lacks support for those private keys. JGit 5.2 comes
> with a new SSH implementation
> (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=520927) and should by that
> also support OpenSSH private keys.
