Missing button "Edit git repository" Web Author 19.1 plus Bitbucket plugin question
Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2018 9:51 pm
I am (trying) to support a small team through an evaluation of Web Author as a collaboration/reviewing tool. We are using a trial floating license with a floating license server. Our files are stored in Bitbucket Server.
One of the writers had a problem installation--somehow the installation appeared to become corrupted and would not complete. Our IT department was able to resolve this. However, his Git connection appears to have become stuck on his cloned repository (i.e. his C:// file location). He does not have the Edit git repository button that I do. He used the log out function, but was only given the option to re-log into the cloned repository location. We did a stop/start of the server (using the Manage Web Author functionality), but again, he is only given the option to log into the cloned repository location. We also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Web Author (after IT resolved the initial issue), which again produced no change.
We are using the basic Git plugin because the Bitbucket plugin documentation appears to be specific to Bitbucket Cloud. I cannot find any equivalent to the Authorize User Key/Secret steps on Bitbucket Server. Googling suggests this has to do with OAuth 2.0 incompatibilities with Bitbucket Server.
This is time sensitive as we are trying to complete this evaluation before our trial runs out.
