Creating a project on a remote machine can fail to validate and hang due to the configuration of the Kerberos security settings.
To confirm that this is the issue, take the following steps:
- Start Eclipse using
eclipsec.exe located by default at
C:\Users\Public\Micro Focus\Product Name\eclipse.
Follow the steps for creating a remote project. Validation of a remote project occurs at the end of the project configuration process. If the issue is cause by Kerberos security settings the following message will be displayed in the console used to start
eclipsec.exe:
Kerberos Username [userid]
- Press
Enter.
This displays a password prompt.
- Press
Enter.
This allows the validation to proceed and the project is created successfully.
Once you have identified the issue using the method described above you can implement a workaround. This requires you to disable the gssapi-with-mic authentication method in the
Network Connections preferences. To do this:
- Click
Window > Preferences > General > Network Connections > SSH2.
- On the
Authentication Methods tab, uncheck
gssapi-with-mic.
- Click
Apply.
- Click
OK
- Repeat the project creation process.
