In a CI/CD environment,we can’t avoid dealing with any source code management system since it is integral part of a whole development cycle.

Generate Ssh Key Aix

Generating a new SSH key and adding it to the ssh-agent After you've checked for existing SSH keys, you can generate a new SSH key to use for authentication, then add it to the ssh-agent. Mac Windows Linux. Don't use PuTTY to generate the key. Create a new key with ssh-keygen in.ssh. Leave passwords blank. Open that new key in PuTTY. Copy and paste it into the Bitbucket Key field. Save key with PuTTY and Bitbucket. It should work. I already added the public key to Bitbucket, and ssh -T git@bitbucket.org does output 'logged in as xxxx'. Also, I can connect correctly using SourceTree and adding the private key to Pageant (the key I use for ssh-add has the required OpenSSH format, I created it from the.ppk one).

And we all know that git is the famous distributed version control system that has been widely adopted by many large opensource projects and almost all organisation that follow agile to deliver the service in the fast pace.

There were projects,that has taken a git as base and built on top of it to offer a service to consider the enterprise approach and name few are gitlab,github and bitbucket.

Today i’m gonna show how you can interact with your hosted bitbucket account with most securely any Jenkins that use your source code either to build something or deploy.

I have taken a example java code and try to build it as jar file in the coming up.

To achieve this we require a SSH key pair,so i have used linux host to generate a new one and that is not limited if you want use any ssh software(ex:PuTTYgen) to create.

I should have two ssh keys in the directory following /root/jenkins_pub_priv_key_for_bitbucket/.ssh/ that include is id_rsa & id_rsa.pub.

A private key(id_rsa) saved to your Jenkins and a public key uploaded to Bitbucket. Bitbucket uses the key pair to authenticate anything the associated account can access. This two-waymechanism prevents man-in-the-middle attacks.

Let’s upload the private key in jenkins,navigate to Jenkins URL and following menu

Manage Jenkins –> configure credentials –> credentials –> system –>Add credentials.

change the credentials “kind” to “SSH Username with private key” in follow with username that is being used in the bitbucket account,private key and passphrase that used to unlock the private key.

Now add the public key to bit bucket,

Bitbucket –> settings –> security–>ssh keys –>add keys.

We have setup our keys in both Jenkins and bitbucket,let see how we gonna using it.

There is java build project that gone use bitbucket source as mentioned ,i have chosen credentials that created just now before.

When i try to build ,you gonna see the interaction will happen over ssh and we safe enough to proceed further.

Create a key for each of your accounts

To generate a new key pair simply run this command in the ~/.ssh/ folder:

The -C option is a comment to help identify the key. The -f option specifies the file name. Repeat the above for each Bitbucket account you want to use.

Add the public key to the correct Bitbucket account

Git Ssh Key Bitbucket

To add a public key to a Bitbucket account, you need to go to the Bitbucket Settings Screen. Select SSH Keys in the left side menu and click Add key.

For more detailed information check out the Bitbucket documentation:

• Add an SSH key to a Bitbucket Cloud account.
• Add an SSH key to a Bitbucket Server account.

Configure SSH

In ~/.ssh/ create a file called config with contents based on this:

Replace user1 or user2 with your Bitbucket usernames

Getting your keys on a keyring

This is only useful if you use a passphrase to protect your key. Otherwise you can skip this.

Depending on your operating system you'll need to find out how best to do this.

Linux users can use GnomeKeyring.

Mac users can use the following command to permanently add keys to the Mac SSH Agent:

Windows users can take a look here for more info: Git On Windows

You can check the keys on your keyring with:

Configure your Git repo

If you don’t have a local copy of your repo, you have to run the following command to clone a Bitbucket repository:

If you already have a local copy, you’ll need to update the origin:

Now go to the local Git repo that you want to configure and enter:

Where user1 matches the values you used earlier in your ssh config.

Bitbucket Ssh Keygen

You can now git push as normal and the correct key will automatically be used.
