Cruisecontrolrb users - Nov 2009 - SSH keeps prompting for a password.

Hi All.
 
I''m new to Cruise Control having just taken over a set of build servers
which use it to build our software on Windows and Ubuntu Linux.
I''m in the process of making a couple of changes and have run in to a
couple of problems which I can''t find an answer for in the
documentation.
 
Cruise control is running on a windows box. One of our projects is a
build on Linux. Cruise control SSH''s in to the Linux server to perform
the build.
I''ve recently had to change the user and password for the account it
logs in to.
I''ve changed the line in the RB file to identify the new user. this
seems to be working fine apart from every time cruise control detects a
new build in SVN it prompts for the SSH password before continuing with
the build.
How can I get it to remember the password?
 
Thanks.
Nick.

Hi Chad.

Thanks for pointing me in the write direction.
I''ve now generated my keys and need to work out where to put the
private
key file on the windows box running cruisecontrol. The file I''ve got is
id_rsa.
Any ideas?

Thanks.
Nick.

Set up a no-passphrase SSH key.

SSH-fu is pretty basic stuff and outside the scope of this list.
However, it''s really useful to know if you are a developer and/or
sysadmin.

Google for "ssh key tutorial" or similar, and look for a good page
which explains it in a way you can understand, and play around until
you understand it.  Google for any error messages you don''t
understand.

Good Luck,
