getting error in cloning repository from github in SAP Web IDE Full-Stack

[#1]

Hi,

I want to clone my repository which is present on https://github.wdf.sap.corp/. But I am getting the following error.

Clone request failed

SAP Web IDE is not configured to trust the security certificate provided by the Git server.

I am using SAP Web IDE Full-Stack on https://account.int.sap.hana.ondemand.com.

I had the same issue and more. I went round in circles trying all the advice then eventually solved it. Sharing my approach as it might help someone.

For reference, I'm running on the new Web IDE Full-Stack and using a third-party Git provider.

I found the Git server treated my email address as case sensitive. E.g. Paul@... wouldn't work from Web IDE but lowercase paul@... worked eventually.

I'm using a different email address to my web IDE one so I had to put it in the Global Preferences - Git Settings. This is the gear icon at the bottom of the left toolbar. I had to put it in lowercase here. It was originally defaulted to my Web IDE email address. You should also check the Project Settings Git Repository Configuration as that also has user.email and user.name which I think it copies from the Global Preferences.

I think the process worked better when I clicked "Remember me" on the Authentication password popup. I had left that box blank on some of my failed attempts, but maybe it needs to be ticked.

I also got a different result once when I simply closed the browser and reopened Web IDE and tried the same action.

Hope this helps someone. Good luck!
