I was not able to clone git repository via https to git bash windows client. it shows authentication failure error. same error is not appeared if i try to clone on any Unix machines.

May you please check, if the ssh-key is searched at the right position? Because the environment variables HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH can be different from the environment variable USERPROFILE the ".ssh" path is sometimes searched in another position, perhaps even different to the git for Windows 1.95 version. You can test it by connecting with an ssh -l UserName MachineName and putting a valid key in the directory you expect git should use.

error pasted

duskrish@DUSKRISH-WS ~/repo_test $ git clone https://duskrish@rtp-scm-lnx21.xxxxx.com:8081/Test2 Cloning into 'Test2'... Password for 'https://duskrish@rtp-scm-lnx21.xxxxx.com:8081': fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://duskrish@rtp-scm-lnx21.xxxxx.com:8081/Test2/'

The same thing if I try in any linux machine it shows a popup where I enter my password and it clones comfortably. Cloning via ssh has no issues.

Thanks Dushyanth

While this does not really qualify for a good bug report (you might want to heed all of the advice from https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Issue-reporting-guidelines, not just a couple of tid bits), you might be able to help yourself better by re-running the clone with GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1.

Git for Windows 1.x is now deprecated; Please upgrade to Git for Windows 2.x and open a new ticket there if the bug persists. Thanks.
