SSH Credentials should document the file names considered for UsersPrivateKeySource

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      There's no integrated help for the option "Use ~/.ssh on Jenkins master", leading users to believe everything in there may be considered, while it's only a handful of files.

      The PrivateKeySources, especially UsersPrivateKeySource, need user documentation for their behavior.

          Could you add some more information on what exactly the problem is, in which plugin or part of Jenkins it occurs, what versions of Jenkins and involved plugins you're using,...?

          'Jenkins master ~/.ssh' only considers a handful of predefined filenames:
          https://github.com/jenkinsci/ssh-credentials-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/com/cloudbees/jenkins/plugins/sshcredentials/impl/BasicSSHUserPrivateKey.java#L516

          For everything else, you need e.g. 'file on Jenkins master' instead.

          Is this the problem?
