[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17972) Add ability to "always accept" the hostkey of the SSH connection for cloning git repos

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17972?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-17972: --------------------------------------------- I believe the dialog in question is this: http://i.imgur.com/YYyRBOx.png First lets be sure we agree why this dialog in principal is important. The dialog comes up the first time you connect to a *NEW* host. If you have connected to this host before and have it in your known_hosts it will *NOT* showup. And even if we added a "Do not ask again" it would ask again next time you create a new app because the app will be on a *new* host, not the one you used on first create. And finally - IIF you had approved it you still want this to pop up in case there is a man-in-the-middle attack. Thus I completely disagree that this would be blindly accepted (if it is that is a security issue :) That said - what this dialog seem to be missing compared to command line rhc and other places in eclipse is the option to store the finger print in known hosts so it will be remembered next time you ssh to this server. Andre - is this dialog ours or egits ? can we provide patch to make it actually store to known hosts ? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2.6#6264)
