What version are you running?

rb RC2

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
-

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Same as in http://groups.google.com/group/reviewboard/browse_thread/thread/9f14cc242a9ef367/9e1ca7b2f2683fda?lnk=gst&q=Authentication+%28password%29+successful#9e1ca7b2f2683fda

In short, trying to add svn+ssh://svnpath/repo fails when using username/pwd 

2011-10-05 20:03:50,636 - INFO - Authentication (password) successful!
2011-10-05 20:03:50,739 - DEBUG - EOF in transport thread
2011-10-05 20:03:51,337 - ERROR - SVN: Failed to get repository information for svn+ssh://devsvn/eco: To better debug SSH connection problems, remove the -q option from 'ssh' in the [tunnels] section of your Subversion configuration file.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?



What operating system are you using? What browser?

RHEL 4, Firefox

Please provide any additional information below.

in rbssh.py, line 273 password is set to 0 and then client.connect call is made. Changing the password to a correct one for a given username allows the repository to get registered.

Could you please look into it

Apologies, its Review Board 1.6 RC2
#3 M.Sah******@gmai***** (Google Code) (Is this you? Claim this profile.) 
I checked the code and its the same in the latest trunk, I believe. Can it be that the assumption is after authenticating you don't need the password any longer?

Hi, does anyone have a solution to this? We've been trialling RB for a while now, but authentication issues will stop us from deploying properly :( Thanks in advance!

I think we currently assume that if you're using ssh, then you'll also use ssh keys.

Hi, I'm having the same problem with ReviewBoard 1.6.9
Is there any update on this issue? Or maybe a workaround?
Thanks.
