[news.eclipse.technology.subversive] Re: Authentication

[Keith Fetterman <kfetterman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Trip,

I discovered similar problems using SVNKit 1.1.7 to connect to my 
subversion repository using svn+ssh.  The connector continued to send 
invalid passwords to my server even though I did not have save password 
checked.  If I would try to browse a repository, it would never prompt 
me to enter a password. Instead, after a bit, it would display an error 
that contained the following message:

Get repository folder children operation failed.
svn: authentication cancelled

I tracked the error to SVNKit 1.1.7, i.e., it was returning this error 
to subversion.  I have not pursued it further.

I have found the error occurs on both my Ubuntu linux laptop and a 
Windows XP desktop.

To fix the problem, I installed the native JavaHL connector 1.4.4 on my 
linux laptop.  Its work great.

Good luck
Keith
