SVN command line in jenkins fails due to server certificate mismatch

Question

When I run the svn command line from the Jenkins shell I get this error:

 D:\\Jenkins\\jobs\\Merge Trunk to Stable\\workspace\\stable>svn up --trust-server-ce         


        

Answer 1

Running Svn commands through Jenkins on slave was giving me difficulty. I did the following:

If you are on unix then follow this link: http://www.microhowto.info/howto/configure_subversion_to_trust_a_given_ssl_certificate.html

If you are on Windows then do:

cd %APPDATA%\Subversion\

Then edit the server file in that directory by removing the # sign from the ssl-authority-files element and update the path to where you stored your ssl certificate file.

Also change the following, if you like it to store your credentials.

store-passwords = yes 
store-ssl-client-cert-pp = yes

Once that is done, you would also need to add the certificate to your windows machine by following Add the Cert to the Trusted Root CA Store
