> Provide a way of setting password for ext connections using internal ssh code
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SCM-424
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-424
> Project: Maven SCM (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: maven-scm-provider-cvs
> Environment: Any
> Reporter: Klaus Brunner
> Priority: Major
>
> ExtConnection apparently has all the necessary stuff in place to initiate an
> "ext using ssh" connection on its own, without an external ssh command.
> However, there seems to be no way of setting the password for such
> connections: ext URLs are fixed to 4 tokens so you can set a username, but
> not a password (see AbstractCvsScmProvider - not misleading message that
> there are "too few tokens" when in fact there may be too many....). It's also
> not retrieved from a system property or such - so it's always "password is
> null", whatever you do.
> Suggestion: try to get the SSH password from a System property.
