I have created a public key after I have pasted it on GitHub then I have tried to do git clone.

But while doing the clone, it is asking for the password:

error

Did i do anything wrong?

First, make sure you have pasted your SSH public key in your User SSH setting page of your local GitHub instance, not github.com.

Second, test if you are correctly authenticated with:

ssh -Tv git@stg-...github-....local
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
            your local GitHub server name

You should see which key is used, and if yours is selected.

  • i tried this but i am still getting the same error. debug1: Trying private key: /home/machkuri.rathan-a/.ssh/id_xmss debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive Password: debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,keyboard-interactive Password: – Vikas Rathan Feb 13 '23 at 06:51
  • @VikasRathan Getting the same error is expected. The goal was to check what key was served. In your case, a non-default key `id_xmss` is used, which means you must have a `~/.ssh/config` file which explicitly reference this key. DId you register `id_xmss.pub` in your GitHub Enterprise on-premise instance? (the `stg-...github-....local` one) – VonC Feb 13 '23 at 07:00
  • yes, we have the config file but there is no id_xmss key , how can we create it ? – Vikas Rathan Feb 13 '23 at 09:23
  • @VikasRathan `ssh-keygen -P "" -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_xmss`. Register the `id_xmss.pub` and try again. – VonC Feb 13 '23 at 09:27
  • debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-with-mic debug1: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information Server not found in Kerberos database. its still asking the password, i have created id_xmss key and pasted the pub one on github. – Vikas Rathan Feb 13 '23 at 09:42
  • @VikasRathan This time, you do have `/home/machkuri.rathan-a/.ssh/id_xmss`? And registerd the `id_xmss.pub`? Are you on Windows? – VonC Feb 13 '23 at 09:45
  • yes, i am on windows, i have the id_xmss.pub key and i have configured it on github. -rw-------. 1 machkuri.rathan-a domain users 2643 Feb 13 18:37 id_xmss -rw-r--r--. 1 machkuri.rathan-a domain users 601 Feb 13 18:37 id_xmss.pub . do i need to chnage any permission to the key ? – Vikas Rathan Feb 13 '23 at 09:51
  • @VikasRathan permissions look good. This is more a DNS issue when trying to access your GHE server `stg-...github-....local`, as [illustrated in this (unrelated) issue](https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security-kerberos/issues/134#issuecomment-536213319). – VonC Feb 13 '23 at 09:56
  • Not sure i have raised the support ticket to Github also. – Vikas Rathan Feb 13 '23 at 10:01
