Re: Xcode 2.3 initial impressions

I've read the impressions and the official release. Has anyone noticed if the SCM over SSH works now? It had bad problems with passwordless ssh (on kerberized systems)...

I use CVS over SSH all the time, so I'd say it always worked :-) Hope you filed a bug relating to your configuration.

Yes, but as far as I know, it was well known. My bug report #4365259 was this:


``Summary:
XCode's SCM features SSH tunneling options, but it is known not to work without ssh_agent. In secure environments ssh_agent is not so recommended. XCode should ask a password for normal users with SCM/ SSH, and in high security environments like kerberized ones, no password should provided, since OSX has an excellent support for Single Sign On (SSH is passwordless thanks to GSSAPI). Without ssh_agent XCode is unable to authenticate even providing the right password.


Steps to reproduce:
Use SCM over SSH (CVS or Subversion).

Expected results:
Password dialog and working authentication, or no password at all if SSO is working (e.g. GSSAPI)


Actual results:
Password dialog appears, any password returns an authentication failure even when SSO should be working.''



And was tagged as Duplicate. XCode 2.3 *STILL* cannot handle ssh- based systems without ssh_agent, which is pretty useless when dealing with SSO environments (e.g. kerberos-based networks).


It's pretty annoying, since ssh works flawlessly withing a terminal, I can ssh to a host, cvs any action via ssh, do whatever I want just because of ssh/kerberos.

What should I do? Reopen a bug? File another one?
