Eclipse keeps asking for svn password

Question

Whenever I\'m trying to synchronize/update my projects with SVN repo it asks me for password. It drives me nuts, I\'m checking \"save password\" checkbox and it doesn\'t work at

Answer 1

Probably the simplest solution to try, and worked for us, was to reset the user's password on their SVN account. We recently upgraded to a newer version of CollabNet SVN and we didn't migrate the user accounts (if that's something we could have done, it might have been nice).

There were two developers encountering this issue: one user forgot their password and the account had not yet been created for the other user. It would've been nice to see a more descriptive error message about the credentials in the behavior from the server.

Answer 2

What worked for me was going to Window->Preferences->Team then under 'SVN Interface' select the 'SVNKit (Pure Java)' option.

Answer 3

So I tried all methods you proposed and it didn't work. Solution for me was:

1. Right click on TortoiseSVN
2. Settings
3. Network
4. Subversion server file, button 'Edit'

5. I added:

   [groups] group_name = group_address

   [group_name] http-proxy-exceptions = proxy_exceptions

   http-proxy-host = proxy_host

   http-proxy-port = port_number

   store-passwords = yes

where I filled group_name, group_address, proxy_exceptions, proxy_host, port_number and checked 'yes'.

Hope it works for you.

Answer 4

I can provide one more solution that works for me after trying another solutions.

It was as easy as changing the combo "Apply To" in the login-pass pop-up window from "http://..." to "Repository Location".

I deleted C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\auth too as commented.

Eclipse version: Mars.2 Release (4.5.2)

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

I was facing similar problem and below solution worked for me: Open Windows - preferences - Team - SVN and check for SVN interface, it should be client as SVNKit in place of JavaHL and restart eclipse / RAD ad it will be working fine.

Answer 6

1. went to Window/Preferences/Team/SVN
2. set to "SVNKit" from "JavaHL".

I changed this to SVNKit, and have had no problems since.
