Flare will not accept Git credentials
Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2024 3:45 pm
I'm moving to a new computer, so have installed Flare 2023 r2. When I go to import my projects from our Git server (File > New Project > Import from Source Control), I get to the point where I am to specify the project file. When I click Browse, Flare opens a progress window that says it's cloning the git repository, then asks for credentials. I enter my credentials... and it asks for credentials. Over and over. When I finally give up and cancel out of the credentials window, the error message says "Too many redirects or authentication replays."
I've tried setting the credentials via Windows Credentials Manager, deleting the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MadCap Software\Flare folder in regedit, importing the projects to my machine via TortoiseGit and then opening in Flare (Flare acts like it's just a local project until I ask it to pull, at which point Flare knows where the remote project is, asks for credentials and we're right back to the same problem). Plus probably a few things I can't remember at this point. Anyone have any insight or ideas here?
