Projects hosted on Kenai.com can have three different kinds of source code repositories: git, mercurial, and subversion. With git and mercurial, developers often use ssh for access. However, this requires at least one public key to be uploaded to the site. If you are having problems accessing a repository using ssh, you can test to see if your uploaded key is correct by trying to ssh to kenai.com and checking the result. The following means that your uploaded public key is correct:

If you get some other kind of error, please check your public key. If you change your public key on the SSH Keys page, for example by adding a character in a comment field, it will force the system to overwrite the old key value. A friendlier way to check the validity of your public key is planned for a future release.
