Gitlab can't clone repository even though ssh works

As the title states, I can't clone a repository from a Gitlab 6 server even though the ssh seems to work.

When trying to clone, it looks like this:

git clone ssh://[email protected]:1337/project/repository.git
Cloning into 'repository'...
Access denied.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

In the project, I have the role of "developer" which should have the rights to clone a repository?

I also checked if my SSH public key is working

ssh [email protected] -p 1337 -T
Welcome to GitLab, Anonymous!

More irritating to me is that for a friend of mine seems everything to work fine.

Edit: The main indicator for the problem stated here is the greeting from the SSH Test. In an working enviroment it should be greeting you with your name instead Anonymous!

I had the same problem recently with my private GitLab-CE hosted server. Reconfiguring the GitLab saved me. I have tried editing the local config file and adding the host also, but it didn't work. This worked for me. 

sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure

Try the scp-like syntax:

git clone ssh://[email protected]:1337:project/repository.git

That forces the use of ~/.ssh/config actually, which means the url can be simplified to gitlab:project/repositoriy.git.

But it turned out to be an ssh key issue in the gitlab server ~gitlab/.ssh/authorized_keys (a bit like in issue 4730).
The OP Gelix confirms in the comments:

I removed my key from Gitlab, manually from authorized_keys, readded it on Gitlab. Everything fine now.
Message with SSH Test is now also Welcome to GitLab, Felix *****!

(instead of Welcome to GitLab, Anonymous!)
