Issue/Introduction

Endevor Bridge for Git failed to start with Bind Exception, using BitBucket as the Git Server.

Environment

Release : 18.1

Endevor Bridge for Git 2.12.5

Cause

Must create an application link in Bitbucket that connects to Bridge for Git before starting Bridge for Git application.

Resolution

To setup SSL in B4G:

Copy the keystore in the machine bridge will be running and fill in application.yml with the following parameters :

# The format used for the keystore. It could be set to JKS in case it is a JKS file
server.ssl.key-store-type: JKS
# The path to the keystore containing the certificate
server.ssl.key-store: <path/keystore.jks>
#The password used to generate the certificate
server.ssl.key-store-password: <your_password>
# The alias mapped to the certificate
server.ssl.key-alias: <alias>

Follow Atlassian Document  to create RSA key pair:

openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 2048

openssl rsa -pubout -in privkey.pem -out pubkey.pem

Open the pubkey.pem in a text editor and you should see something like this:

Copy and paste the content of the RSA public key (pubkey.pem) to Bitbucket application link public key field.

 

In Application.yml:

  bitbucket:
    # Bitbucket Server URL (e.g: http://bitbucket.example.net)
    url: <bitbucket_server_url>

    # Open authentication properties
    oauth:  
            
    # Consumer Key from OAuth Application Link
      consumer-key: <consumer_key>                                     << value of consumer_key must match consumer_key in BitBucket application link

    # Location of your private key file, corresponding public key is set in OAuth Application Link
      private-key: <path/to/private/key.pem>                            <<private key from the same RSA key pair with the public key in BitBucket application link
