Launchpad itself

cannot log in

Asked by tansoei

I have registered to launchpad, and created a SSH successfully.

When I use bazaar at the command prompt (under Windows XP), I got:

C:\mydir>bzr branch lp:openerp
Connected (version 2.0, client Twisted)
SSH <email address hidden> password:
Authentication type (password) not permitted.
bzr: ERROR: Connection error: Unable to authenticate to SSH host as tansoei@baza
ar.launchpad.net Bad authentication type (allowed_types=['publickey'])

It wouldn't accept my password

Could someone help me? I used the same password to login to https://launchpad.net/~tansoei successfully

Many thanks

Hello.

To use bzr codehosting in launchpad over ssh, you will need to use a SSH public key, not a password. In the error message above, this is what "Authentication type (password) not permitted" and "(allowed_types=['publickey'])" mean.

I see that you have uploaded an ssh key to Launcpad. That's good. Now you need to also set up the public key in your local machine.

Try following the instructions here:

https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/CreatingAnSSHKeyPair

It may be easier to follow those instructions precisely, loading the *new* key that you generate into Launchpad instead of or in addition to the current key.

Thanks Gary. Actually I have done all the steps suggested, except for the Pageant stuff (I did not even download Pageant). I am connected now!
