Possible problems
Getting CAPTCHA problems when trying to login at 'git clone', 'git push' or 'git pull'?
In some situations you may get an error like the following
| Code Block |
|---|
[17:55:48] xx@myhost:client> git pull
fatal: remote error: CAPTCHA required
Your Stash account has been marked as requiring a CAPTCHA to be solved before
you may login again. This is typically caused by too many attempts to login
with an incorrect password. The required CAPTCHA prevents your SCM client from
accessing Stash until it is solved, even if you enter your password correctly.
If you are currently logged in to Stash via a browser you may need to logout
and then log back in in order to clear the CAPTCHA.
Visit Stash at https://software.ecmwf.int/stash for more details. |
The solution is to follow this procedure
- Log off the ECMWF Single Sign On system (www.ecmwf.int or old.ecmwrf.int)
- Log in manually into Stash, filling the CAPTCHA field (you will be asked for it after you try a first time). https://software.ecmwf.int/stash/login
- The password is the same password you use with git, that you can change or recover in JIRA (but do allow some minutes for synchronization from JIRA to Stash
