---------------------------------

             Summary: maven-scm-provider-jgit should support SSH public key auth
                 Key: SCM-832
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-832
             Project: Maven SCM
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: maven-scm-provider-gitexe, maven-scm-provider-jgit
    Affects Versions: 1.9.4
            Reporter: Martin Kutter


The current mvn-scm-provider-jgit implementation does not support the explicit use of public key auth. The underlying implementation implicitly uses ~/id_rsa or ~/id_dsa if present (and not protected by a passphrase).
For most Git repositories (Github, Gitlab, ...), public key authentication is mandatory for ssh access. 
This forces users to either use https, or to rely on a unprotected private key file.

maven-scm-provider-jgit should support the privateKey and passphrase attributes available in server entries in maven settings.xml for ssh URLs
