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 ?

> Each time JBDS does a git clone, it gives me a warning about the hostkey of the SSH connection.  As a developer, I will always accept this.  I'd like the ability to click an "always accept" checkbox so I don't have to see this pop-up every time.
