In short, not on the short term, but I am aware that at least one other company needed this, and they implemented the key based authentication on their own. GitBackup supports proxy (albeit a crude implementation) - sure you can't do it in that way?
@TG-JC any luck on testing the HTTP proxy support?
Closing the question as of now due to lack of feedback. Please feel free to re-open in future if needed.
Hello Vladimir,
As expected, it does not work. This result is compliant with tests I did in the past with command line git.
Here is configuration - I wiped out my enterprise login/password
Result is the same if I remove user:password string from proxy settings.
Please note that GitBackup is on the internet and tries to access an on-prem bitbucket. I need to cross an enterprise reverse proxy. When trying to access this ressource manually through a browser, I have to give my password twice: first time at reverse proxy level (NTLM, or kind of), then at Bitbucket level (through ADFS, with redirection). SSH was the key to overcome this complexity.
Test was done with 443 port, not 433
I understand. Modifying the extension to allow authentication through SSH keys would need to involve this:
I do not have a timeline to implement this, but I can spend time for quick helper meetings if you or somebody would be willing to work on this (it requires Eclipse+Java knowledge). Note: Ideally (but not mandatory), the end result should result in an update to the extension so that everyone can benefit, considering the open-source mentality around it.
Contributing back to community is not at all an issue. The issue is that our team doesn't have know-how to develop JAVA extension. Since Thingworx should be a low code platform, we do not invest in JAVA developers :(
Our corporate Bitbucket is hosted internally and security/authentication management is done through ssh keys. HTTPS-based access is protected by two authentication levels (proxy level, and Bitbucket level) which git client does not support.
To be able to test this extension, I've created a free Bitbucket account. This is not compliant with our IT/Data governance policy. Do you plan to support ssh key-based authentication ?
