- Any other interesting things about your environment that might be related
to the issue you're seeing?
I have installed Gitea on a internal RHEL8 server, which is joined to Active Directory. I've configured Apache on that server as a reverse proxy to do SSL termination and Kerberos SSO authentication. I've also set up a CNAME [gitea.example.org
] in DNS for that server to make the URLs more memorable (and shorter).
I am able to access the git repos via HTTPS URLs that reference the CNAME using git
on Linux. I can also access the gitea website using Firefox or MS Edge on Windows. All this works seamlessly with Kerberos single sign on, and I'm never prompted for a password nor denied access.
When using the git for windows client program, it only works if I use an HTTPS URL with the canonical hostname for the server. However, if the URL uses that CNAME (eg. https://gitea.example.org/UserName/CodeRepo.git
) I get fatal: Authentication failed
.

- What commands did you run to trigger this issue? If you can provide a
Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example
this will help us understand the issue.

Cloning into 'CodeRepo'...
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://gitea.example.org/UserName/CodeRepo.git/'

URL to that repository to help us with testing?
Sorry, as mentioned, it's an internal Gitea installation.
