I have a problem using the svn bundle with password protected repositories and the problem is that the bundle can't find ssh- askpass, which is to be expected since there's no ssh-askpass anywhere in my system :). I've search around but all I found is some references to a python ssh-askpass script. Any ideas how I can get this thing to work?
Normally we recommend setting up a public/private key-pair without a pass-phrase on the private key (setting a pass-phrase on the private key is effectively storing it encrypted, which is a good idea if you have to store the key on a server where others might be able to read it, but for your local machine, it’s hardly worth it).
Anyway, the ssh-askpass I assume is the default program used by ssh to query you for the pass-phrase, if you run ‘man ssh’ you’ll find this section:
SSH_ASKPASS If ssh needs a passphrase, it will read the
[...]
I have no experience with actually setting this up though, but it sounds like it shouldn’t be that difficult. Let us know if you figure something out or would like some further pointers.
If simple, we should probably set this up in the Subversion bundle. Presently I have no private keys with pass-phrase, but I might play with it later.
Old thread, I know... I'm lagging behind.
A few years ago I had to access a remote CVS repository that required SSH tunneling and then learned about http://www.sshkeychain.org/ which stores your ssh passphrases in the keychain, it might solve the O.P.'s problem.
I don't know if it solves the problem, and I stopped using that program 2-3 years ago, so all disclaimers apply.
HTH.
