    Description

      Am I doing something wrong, or is this not something that is supported?

      When I try to add a Git SCM using SSH credentials, it fails with the following error (see SCMError.png):

      	
Failed to connect to repository : Command "ls-remote -h git@github.com:AppDirect/StandingCloud.git HEAD" returned status code 128:
stdout: 
stderr: Permission denied (publickey). 
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

      I've configured the private key properly (as far as I know anyway)... See PrivateKeyConfiguration.png

      I've also tried the same configuration under a credential domain in case git was hung with a message like this (See CredentialDomain.png):

      The authenticity of host 'github.com (192.30.252.128)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 16:27:ac:a5:76:28:2d:36:63:1b:56:4d:eb:df:a6:48.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

      I've tested and the private key that I am using does have access:

      [root@jenkins ~]# ssh -T -i /dev/shm/id_rsa git@github.com
The authenticity of host 'github.com (192.30.252.128)' can't be established.

Hi nshenry03! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

      As a workaround I can add/create a key as the jenkins user; however, it would be great if I could use the SSH Credentials plugin so that the key is backed up and restored if I move to a new Jenkins server.
