SVN authentication problem
Locked
 
|
Hello all,
I'm observing the following difference in behaviour between the svn binaries and svnkit (cli). Using svn binaries: $ svn info --username xxx --password xxx --no-auth-cache --non-interactive --trust-server-cert https://wsrv2164.xxx.corp/svn/REPO Path: REPO URL: https://wsrv2164.xxx.corp/svn/REPO Repository Root: https://wsrv2164.xxx.corp/svn/REPO Repository UUID: 343082f5-97f9-014a-8cc9-3848f4328179 Revision: 13 Node Kind: directory Last Changed Author: John Last Changed Rev: 13 Last Changed Date: 2011-10-19 08:59:55 +0200 (Wed, 19 Oct 2011) Using jsvn, provided in svnkit distribution (svnkit-1.3.6-v1): $ ./jsvn info --username xxx --password xxx --no-auth-cache --non-interactive --trust-server-cert https://wsrv2164.xxx.corp/svn/REPO svn: Authentication required for '<https://wsrv2164.xxx.corp:443>' The command line is exactly the same, but svnkit cannot access the repository while svn binaries can? Any ideas what can cause this? Kind regards, Joost |

Hello,
Might it be that your server uses NTLM or Negotiate authentication method? If so, it may make sense to put the following into jsvn script (I assume you use 1.3.6 version): EXTRA_JVM_ARGUMENTS="-Dsvnkit.http.methods=Basic,Digest,Negotiate,NTLM" NTLM authentication might not be supported by SVNKit in all environments, and Negotiate one requires JDK to be configured to support it (see http://www.syntevo.com/smartsvn/techarticles.html?page=configuration.kerberos-over-spnego for how to configure it). Option above will force SVNKit to prefer simple "Basic" authentication method in case it is advertised by the server. Also, what does jsvn say when you remove "--non-interactive" argument from command line?

Hello Alexander,
Indeed, the SVN server is a Windows based VisualSVN server. Your suggestion for the extra jvm arguments worked! Thanks a lot! Just FYI, without the fix applied, when I remove the "--non-interactive" (and also the "--trust-server-certificate") the response of jsvn is: Authentication realm: <https://wsrv2164.xxx.corp:443> Username [xxx]: So it asks again for credentials. In the end authentication always fails. Regards, Joost
