Method for Subversion integration with an established repository using SSH Key for authentication?
Added by JD Scott over 8 years ago
Hello all,
I’d love to be able to integrate our established Subversion repository for a project, however, our administrator limits our authentication methods on our server to SSH Key authentication. Is there a method for configuring OpenProject to use an SSH key for authentication? If I were able to provide key bytes for authentication for a given project’s Subversion integration settings, that would be helpful. Or, alternatively, if there is another way to make this happen without requiring a change to the OpenProject source, that would be great as well.
Thanks,
JD

Hi JD,
as we rely on the mod_svn with a HTTP basic authentication to pass authentication data from the actual SVN request to OpenProject, I don’t see this happening without a plugin that configures some external service (such as
svnserve
).For Git, I wrote a plugin to do exactly that with Gitolite. But due the amount of changes required to the core, the plugin is quite brittle and requires extra care.
Best,
Oliver
