jenkins

Jenkins Host key verification failed

I have a problem with jenkins, setting "git", shows the following error:

Failed to connect to repository : Command "git ls-remote -h https://person@bitbucket.org/person/projectmarket.git HEAD" returned status code 128:
stdout:
stderr: fatal: Authentication failed

I have tested with ssh:

git@bitbucket.org:person/projectmarket.git

This is error:

Failed to connect to repository : Command "git ls-remote -h git@bitbucket.org:person/projectmarket.git HEAD" returned status code 128:
stdout:
stderr: Host key verification failed.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I've also done these steps with "SSH key".

Login under Jenkins

sudo su jenkins

Copy your github key to Jenkins .ssh folder

cp ~/.ssh/id_rsa_github* /var/lib/jenkins/.ssh/

Rename the keys

mv id_rsa_github id_rsa
mv id_rsa_github.pub id_rsa.pub

but still not working git repository in jenkins.

Solution

  • Change to the jenkins user and run the command manually:

    git ls-remote -h git@bitbucket.org:person/projectmarket.git HEAD

    You will get the standard SSH warning when first connecting to a new host via SSH:

    The authenticity of host 'bitbucket.org (207.223.240.181)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 97:8c:1b:f2:6f:14:6b:5c:3b:ec:aa:46:46:74:7c:40.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

    Type yes and press Enter. The host key for bitbucket.org will now be added to the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file and you won't get this error in Jenkins anymore.
