Using JGit to try to access stash repository. Dont know what credentials to provide

Question

I am using JGit to call

cloneRepository().setURI().setDirectory().setCredentialsProvider().call();

I am currently using UsernamePasswordCredentialsProvider() to try to provide the information that stash needs but I am getting an error that says UnsupportedCredentialItem. I am wondering if anyone knows specifically what stash needs in order to perform a git clone through JGit.

Thanks for you help

From what I understand it uses either HTTP auth (using your Jira/Crowd credentials) or SSH (using a stored key). — NickSuperb, Jun 23 '14 at 18:00
I think its the SSH key, do you know how to add an SSH credentialItem? Thanks Nick — user3073234, Jun 23 '14 at 18:33

You can use the http protocol and pass in a username /password.

In case you want to use the ssh protocol, make sure you have the ssh keys stored in Stash for the userid. In that case , stash does the authentication behind the scenes and you do not need to provide username/password
