The SSH Plugin for SCM Manager enables SSH access to Git repositories managed within SCM Manager.
This is a fork (with a minor fix) of the original plugin. The original plugin stopped working at a certain point in time. At Lite Solutions we needed certificate based SSH access to our git repositories so we decided to fix it and release the fix.
As of a bug in SCM Manager 1.45 and earlier you should use the dist version with SCM Manager 1.46 or later. Or you could build yourself on a Linux system, that might work as well.
The original documentation follows as copied when we forked the project.
Setting up the SSH plugin is quite simple. Just download the plugin file and add it using plugin manager in the SCM administrative web-interface.
After restarting SCM manager, you can configure the SSH plugin in the general configuration panel of SCM. The SSH keys accepted for a specific user can be configured by the administrator in the user panel or by the respective user herself using the "Edit my SSH Keys" menu item.
For connecting to a Git repository over SSH, use a URL like ssh://<username>@<server>:<port>/git/<repository>.
The port is optional, if the SSH server is running on port 22. However, for
most operating systems binding to ports below 1024 requires special privileges,
so you might need to setup the Java servlet container in a special way, if you
want to use the standard port. By default the SSH plugin uses port 8022.
If you run the SSH plugin in parallel to another SSH daemon and use the same IP address or hostname for connections, you should make sure that the same SSH host keys are used. Otherwise the SSH client will complain about mismatching host keys.

The scm-ssh-plugin uses the SSH server implementation from the Apache Mina project.
