Permission denied (publickey) when setting up Jenkins

Viewed 31702

I am setting up Jenkins on a Win 2008 server machine and am having some trouble configuring Jenkins to connect to GitHub. I get the following error:

Command "git.exe fetch -t git@github.com:USER/REPO.git +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*" returned status code 128: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

ERROR: Could not fetch from any repository

Things I Have Checked

  • The Jenkins service is running under my username.
  • I changed my SSH key so it no longer has a password.
  • I have verified my SSH key is valid by executing the same command as Jenkins using msysgit.
  • Verified all my paths are correct.

Jenkins Configuration Settings

  • Jenkins 1.418
  • GitHub plugin 0.5
  • Git plugin 1.1.9

msysgit Works but CMD Prompt Does Not When I navigate to a valid repo and execute the command from the DOS prompt, it also fails.

Do you have any idea what I may be missing?

Thanks for your help.
