Problem Note 70483: Attempting to clone a Git repository fails with “ERROR: Return code from GIT is (12). negotiate failure: Unspecified GSS Failure”
 |  |  |  |
An issue occurs when using git-http-backend repositories hosted with an Apache webserver with Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication. As a result, the following error message occurs when you attempt to access the remote repositories via clone, push, pull, or fetch:
ERROR: Return code from GIT is (12). negotiate failure: Unspecified GSS Failure.
To circumvent this issue, include the following lines in the <LocationMatch> block for your Git repositories within the Apache webserver configuration:
GssapiBasicAuth On
GssapiBasicAuthMech krb5
The Apache configuration files are located in the /etc/httpd/conf.d directory on a Linux machine.
