Password caching with Subclipse (using SVNKit as subversion provider) doesn´t work

Hello,

i´ve setup a subversion server running on windows with
apache 2.2.8 und
subversion 1.4.6. Authentication is done against a windows
domain using the
apache mod_auth_sspi module. Using some windows client like
Tortoise SVN
works great. I had to supply the credentials for the first
time accessing a
repository and this credentials are cached.

But users working with Eclipse 3.3 (Europa) and the
subclipse plugin
(configured to use svnkit as provider) had to type in their
password many
many times for a simple checkout or checkin (yes, of course
they have
checked the box "store password") and are getting
really bored. There must
be something wrong with the password caching mechanism. I
tried to start
eclipse after deleting the .keyring file but it doesn´t
help.

Ideas what could be wrong?

Greetings, Joerg

Hello Jörg,

 > Ideas what could be wrong?
This is known issue with SSPI authentication in SVNKit 1.1.4
version. 
Please put the following line into
ECLIPSE_HOME/configuration/config.ini 
file:

svnkit.http.methods=Basic,NTLM

This should fix the problem. If not, please let us know.

The reason of the problem is that SVNKit only supports
limited number of 
versions of SSPI authentication protocol and fails to
authenticate 
itself with some servers. It then considers that the reason
of the 
problem is wrong credentials supplied and asks them for
another time, 
this repeats for each HTTP request sent.
