How to configure Eclipse to
work with INRIA Gforge?
You can download Eclipse at http://www.eclipse.org.
This section will show you how to manage your ssh connection
with Eclipse by using an existing key or by creating a new
one.
First, go to the Window/Preferences menu.
Here, browse the preferences tree : General/Network
Connections/SSH2.
Here, you can specify an already existing SSH2 key (must
be OpenSSH compliant) or create a new key by clicking on the
tab Key Management.
WARNING : To avoid problems, a useful workaround
is to restart Eclipse after SSH configuration if you change
the SSH Home path.
Here, you have to generate a RSA key.
Then :
- add a comment (ex: user@host, inria-gforge-key)
- choose a lengthy passphrase in the Passphrase
field and confirm it in the Confirm passphrase field.
With your mouse, select the content of the box labeled Public
key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys file, copy it
(that is, hit Control-C).
Click on the Save private key button to
save your private key in a file.
Update your gforge account
Paste your public key in the gforge website. To do this,
you need to go to your account and then go to the Account
maintainance tab. At the bottom of the Account maintainance
tab, you should see a Shell Account Information section which
contains an [Edit keys] link. Paste (that is, hit control-V)
your public key(s) in the empty field below and click the
Update button.
Warning!
A common problem is that the Shell Account Information field
does not appear in your account page. This usually happens
because you do not belong to any gforge project. To correct
this problem, either create your own project first or request
the project admin of the project you want to join to add you
to the list of the project's contributors.
Please, be aware that uploading your ssh public key on the
server will not allow you to connect to the server immediately
through ssh. To do so, you will need to wait at most 24h.
If your connection is impossible 24h later, please, contact
the server administrators.
