We are trying to connect to a Git repository via SSH (not Github) using username/password (we're not using keys) and we're getting the following error:

Failed to connect to repository : Command "git ls-remote -h ssh://account@repository/path/toApplication HEAD" returned status code 128:
stdout:
stderr: Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
------------------

If we use the anonymous access or change the access type from SSH to HTTPS, it works fine, but we should be able to use the SSH with user/password without having to add the public/private keys.
