+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>By default, the JGit library used by Spring Cloud Config Server uses SSH configuration files such as <code>~/.ssh/known_hosts</code> and <code>/etc/ssh/ssh_config</code> when connecting to Git repositories using an SSH URI.
+In cloud environments such as Cloud Foundry, the local filesystem may be ephemeral or not easily accessible. For cases such as these, SSH configuration can be set using
+Java properties. In order to activate property based SSH configuration, the property <code>spring.cloud.config.server.git.ignoreLocalSshSettings</code> must be set to <code>true</code>.
