Public/private key types for Sourcetree connection
Asked by Stephanie Workman:

I'm trying to connect to our git respository using SourceTree. I've not managed it yet and I believe the issue is with the type of public/private keys. Here is what I've done so far to try to resolve this issue.

1) Using Puttygen generated SSH public/private key pair   
2) Loaded the key into pageant which is supposed to run in the background I thought  
3) In tools/options gave the path to my ssh private key for putty  
3) Attempt to clone the repository using an ssh://path - however i get an access denied error. It keeps expecting the password for the 'banner' account. It should not I assume if the keys are working correctly. I also verified that i can directly login to the git via putty itself using the banner account and it does NOT ask me for a password.

So I dig some digging around and found some reference to using an OpenSSH key structure instead. So I did the following:

1) dumped all my old keys  
2) using puttygen created new keys and copied/pasted the openSSH public key off and sent to my dba  
3) verified that i could login via putty itself using the new openssh key structure  
4) tried to load the open ssh private key into pageant(which is not allowed apparently)  
4) in tools/options gave the path to my open ssh private key for the openssh option  
4) Attempt to clone the respository using an ssh://path - it told me I had to use a different URL or switch to SSH basically

So I'm confused on exactly what TYPE of keys I should be generating and what Sourcetree is expecting.

I feel like I'm just so close and if i can resolve the keys/connection within Sourcetree I'd be able to make my connection.

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Stephanie


Answers:
author: Seth
body: When generating your keys with PuTTYgen, you can (and should) create BOTH types for the same key. Steps are as follows:

1) Generate a new key (or load an existing PuTTY key with Load button or OpenSSH key with Conversions\>Import Key).

2) Save both public and private keys to separate files.

3) Export OpenSSH key (Conversions menu) to a third file.

4) Upload the OpenSSH public key to most remote servers (anything \*nix, including OSX), use PuTTY private key with Pageant.
Launch external merge tool from console
Asked by Gabriel Ramos:

Hi, I would like to know how can use the "Launch external merge tool" functionality but from the console.

If you could provide me a code sample, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!


Answers:
author: Stefan Saasen
body: HI Gabriel,

You can use the <http://git-scm.com/docs/git-mergetool> command to invoke an external merge tool. Here is one example how to set up Vim as an external mergetool: <http://www.rosipov.com/blog/use-vimdiff-as-git-mergetool/> and I'm assuming that you can find other examples for the merge tool of your choice.

Cheers,

Stefan

Is it possible to push a tag to second remote?
Asked by Rich Schmitt:

We are trying to keep remotes in sync. If I create a tag in SourceTree, I can tell it to push it to a remote. But, if I then want to push it to a second remote, I don't seem the have the ability. The create tag dialog believes the tag is already created (yes it is), so it will not let me create it for the second remote.

The push dialog only lets me push branches.

I'm assuming SourceTree just doesn't support this but I'm looking for confirmation.

Rich


Answers:
author: Seth
body: At the bottom of the push dialog, you have the option to "push all tags". Have you tried that?

comments: author: Rich Schmitt
body: No, for one, I don't want to push all tags. But more importantly, I can't push anything if I don't want to push a branch. And I don't want to push a branch. I actually want to push just the tag and history to that tag. I do not want to push a branch head.


author: Seth
body: Yeah, SourceTree does not make pushing tags very easy/flexible. For now you may have to use command line/terminal. You might check <http://jira.atlassian.com> to see if there are any relevant bug reports or feature requests.
Are you planning integration with RhodeCode?
Asked by Dwight Holman:

I see SourceTree has a facility to integrate to hosted git/hg repositories through the strangely named "Hosted Repositories" feature, and manage associated accounts with thru the "Hosted Account list".

Do you plan to do integration to a local (or cloud) RhodeCode repository server? For a number of genuine reasons we are using a local RhodeCode to serve our repositories. A cloud based approach is not workable for us, and neither do we want to use Stash.

Ok so I can probably guess the answer, but I can live in hope right?

Thanks,  
D


Answers:
author: Seth
body: That list is "extended integration". In other words, SourceTree supports features beyond what Git/Hg provides with those hosts. You can still use SourceTree with any Git/Hg remote that supports standard protocols (https/https and ssh are most common).

comments: author: Dwight Holman
body: Hi Seth,thanks for the answer. Yes we have already used SourceTree with RhodeCode which (of course) works just fine.So yes I am asking about the "extended integration". From your note I assume that this is not something you are planning to do.


author: Seth
body: I'm just a user like you.However, I've never heard of RhodeCode, so I'd be surprised if it's on Atlassian's radar. You can submit a feature request at <http://jira.atlassian.com>

Confluence firewall rules
Asked by Michael Johnston:

I've got two nodes running in a Confluence Datacenter that I'd like to run the system firewalls on for extra security. The problem is that when I turn on the firewall on the local system (RHEL8), Confluence cannot be reached. According to the documentation, the only ports required are ports 8090 and 8000, which I have configured. I've also tried adding 8443 but still no workie.

<br />

Does anyone have any advice on this? Thanks!


Answers:
author: Michael Johnston
body: Well... it was me. It seems I forgot to add the interface to the firewall zone I created. Thanks for the help, all.


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It is possible to change the ports Confluence runs on, but you've got the two you need to open up for a default install.

We can't tell you how to set up your firewall - it's not an Atlassian thing, you could be running any one of a number of things, and you have not told us what firewall you are using or how you have not configured it to allow those ports.

comments: author: Michael Johnston
body: Thank you for the response. I don't want to change the ports on these systems; I want them to work with the firewall open. I'm looking to see if I misconfigured something on the firewall because it makes no sense that it wouldn't work.

Space requiring login although no restrictions
Asked by Nadja Pollard:

Our process for creating new spaces is to copy an existing space, restrict access at the Space Permissions level, make changes, and then remove the restrictions when we go live. But we have a space with no restrictions on it, even at the Home-page level, yet it does not appear to Anon users. We do allow Anonymous View permission. This happened before a while back and cannot remember what we did to resolve it.

Merging two tables with SQL to transform ID into Name
Asked by Megan:

I am utilizing a jira plugin to display a list of tickets and their associated owners. I have four name fields - Operations Owner, Partner Owner, Product Owner, Engineering Owner - that come through Jira as IDs. I want to match the IDs to a name and merge the two tables together so only the persons human readable name displays.

So far, I can only figure out how to get two names to display based on SQL. Any help would be appreciated

**Table 1**

Summary \| Operations Owner \| Partner Owner \| Product Owner \| Engineering Owner

ABC \| 123 \| 111 \| 112 \| 145

**Table 2**

ID \| Name

123 \| John Smith

145 \| John Doe

111 \| Person C

112 \| Person D

The Join I have so far - below displays this

ABC \| 123 \| Person C \| Person D \| 145

-----

SELECT 'Summary',  
'Partner Owner',  
'Name' AS 'Product Owner'  
FROM  
(SELECT 'Summary',  
'Name' AS 'Partner Owner',  
'Product Owner'  
FROM T1 LEFT JOIN T2 ON T1.'Partner Owner' = T2.'ID')  
LEFT JOIN T2 ON 'Product Owner' = T2.'ID'


Answers:
author: Katerina Rudkovskaya [Stiltsoft]
body: Hi [@Megan](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/208724),  

You are on the right way, just expand the existing structure of your SQL query to cover all the columns where you need to replace IDs by names:

How to insert new row in a table with preset attribute?
Asked by Tze-Hui Lim:

Hi,

I need to create a table, with columns that consist of Handy Macro Status and Instructional Text. When adding new row to the table, the new row will be populated with the preset Handy status and instruction text:

Example below, when user add a new row (2nd row), the new row will appear with pre-populated Team, Status and Instruction text where the user can select appropriate status from the drop down and fill in the comment.

We have multiple teams working on the same document in confluence, we would like to have a more control input for the columns in a table, i.e. everyone reporting the same set of status by selecting the options through handy macro.

For example, as a user, when I add a new row in an existing table, the columns of new row will already be populated the list of option (Handy Macro) for me to select the correct status, instead of me typing in manually. When next user add a new row in the same table, the columns of the new row will be populated with the list and the user can select the options through Handy Macro and so on...

Table width to be Responsive when using Table Filter
Asked by Pei-ju Hsu:

Hi,

I'm using a ++Table Filter++ covering a ++Table Excerpt Include++. Usually the result width is Responsive by default, but in one of the cases, the table width is very narrow, not expended to the windows size. I tried removing Table Filter and just keep the Table Excerpt Include itself, it's fine. I also tried the same Table Filter with different Table Excerpt Include, it's also fine. I have no idea what can affect the specific combination.

Is there a way to set Table Filter result width to be Responsive?

Attach the page storage format of the current page (with Table Excerpt Include and Table Filter) and of the source page where your Table Excerpt is located.  

To get the page storage format, navigate to the upper right corner of the page -\> menu ... -\> View Storage Format.  

We'll be able to recreate your data and investigate the issue.

Allowing internal users access irrespective of IP allowlisting
Asked by Anna Dziuba?ska:

We have subscribed to Confluence Premium to be able to use the [IP allowlisting](https://support.atlassian.com/security-and-access-policies/docs/specify-ip-addresses-for-product-access/) functionality.

Our scenario is that 90% of Confluence is used for internal purposes and access should be allowed for our internal users based on their account permissions (all internal users have individual Confluence accounts).

The remaining 10% of our Confluence use (a single space) is dedicated to client facing documentation, which we want to enable on a read-only basis to our customer base (but not to the whole internet). The clients shouldn't need a Confluence account, access to the client facing Space will be managed with IP allowlisting.

We have tested the [space permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/space-permissions-overview-139521.html) settings and managed to configure the required client-facing space to be visible to allowlisted customers without confluence account, however, now our internal users (with confluence accounts) also need to access all internal spaces from an allowlisted IP.

We would like to avoid forcing our internal users to connect from allowlisted IPs - is it possible to set this up in a way that a logged in user can access Confluence from any IP?


Answers:
author: Cassie the Jira Mechanic
body: Yes, you could use Confluence Guests. Atlassian has a nice how to document already so I will link you to that:  

[Invite guests to Confluence \| Confluence Cloud \| Atlassian Support](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/invite-guests-for-external-collaboration/)

comments: author: Anna Dziuba?ska
body: thanks Cassie. This could work, if the limitation of 5 guests per paid user wasn't there. We would also prepare not having to force the clients to create an account, but have the contents available with the click of a button.

I was looking to see if there is a possibility for the internal users to skip over the IP requirement (i.e. IP requirement for anonymous users, no IP requirement for logged in users)
