running git clone against AWS CodeCommits gets me a 403 error
My local laptop is a Mac.
The ssh key is configured properly. This is the content of ~/.ssh/config
Host barthea Hostname git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com User AVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVQ IdentityFile ~/.ssh/aws-aws.pem
Running ssh barthea gets me
`You have successfully authenticated over SSH. You can use Git to interact with AWS CodeCommit. Interactive shells are not supported.Connection to git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com closed by remote host.
` 2. I created an IAM user bruce666 complete with password and access keys, made this user part of the "team" group.Then I created a policy that includes "AWSCodeCommitPowerUsers" and assigned this policy to "team". And finally assigned bruce666 to "team". At this point, bruce666 can access any repo in CodeCommit through the management console.
I ran aws config --profile bruce666, fed in his access and secret key, his region and specified the format at json. At this point, I was able to create the rekha repo in CodeCommmit by running aws codecommit get-repository --repository-name rekha --profile bruce666
I can create a couple of dummy files, run git init, git add . , git commit -m "1", git add origin https://git-gitcode.amzonaws.com/repos/v1/rekha , git push -u origin master And that operation will be successful.
However, when I run git clone ssh://git-gitcode.amazonaws.com/repos/v1/rekha , I get "fatal: unable to access 'https://git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/barthia/': The requested URL returned error: 403" What gives?
Answer
On MAC, if above-mentioned tricks don't work, do the following:
- Open Keychain Access
- Search for CodeCommit. You should find this:
- Select 'git-codecommit....' and press delete
- Confirm the delete.
Now try again. It should work. You may have to do it again next time as well when you face the error 403.
One of the possible reason for this issue is the keychain password different than login password on your MAC.
