Cloning a BPM Suite 6.0.2/business-central git repository using ssh?

[joehunt123]

Has anyone been able to clone a BPM Suite git repository using ssh when the BPM Suite 6.0.2 (i.e., EAP) is started with Java Security Manager enabled?  I was only able to clone a repository using ssh when I started the BPM Suite without the Java Security Manager.  I am running on Windows using JRE 1.7.0_65. I believe there is a bug in the Apache Mina SSHD module of the BPM Suite which prevents it from functioning properly with JRE 1.7.x when the Java Security Manager is enabled.  This bug appears to be partially addressed in SSHD version 0.12.0:  (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-332).  However, even when I swapped in version SSHD 0.12.0, my git clone request failed until I disabled the Java Security Manager.  I will try to figure out how to report this as a bug, unless someone can tell me how to get this to work.

I have been working with jBPM 6.0.1.Final lately, and I've had a lot of trouble with git ssh.  I'm not sure if jBPM is the same thing as BPM Suite, but either way, I think that the Apache Mina SSHD module is at the root of my problems too.

I have had some luck by using the git:// protocol for cloning/pulling and using ssh:// for pushing.  (SSH would not work for pulling, but for some reason it works for pushing).

To get this to work, I had to:

1. Add system properties to jBoss to enable the git daemon - see the org.uberfire.nio.git.daemon.* properties.  I also added some of the org.uberfire.nio.git.ssh.* properties.
2. Configure git to use a different URL for fetch versus push

I don't know if those specific properties will help you, because I don't think we're using the exact same product.  But maybe this gives you an idea and you can try the git:// protocol, and then you could at least do clones.
