Multiple file commit

[Maze, Jeffrey S.]

Hello,
I searched the archives and didn't find something similar to our
issue.

Before I begin, I didn't setup the SVN server (1.3); a prior
admin set this up. It uses Apache server using SSL with the
mod_auth_sspi for Active Directory authentication running on Windows
Server 2003. This machine is just a member server to the domain.

If we try to add/modify/update multiple files and directories
(anything over 20), Tortoise will ask for a username and password. When
we enter this, it'll ask for it again and whether we reenter or not,
it'll fail. If I use the command prompt directly on the server and the
'svn add' or 'svn commit' it works fine. I've had it ask for the
password once, but it worked fine.

Is this a Tortoise issue or an SVN issue?

Thanks.. -Jeff

Just to add, the ask for username and password occurs during the
"Sending Content" phase. It'll add the files, it's just during the
second half..

It's a neon/sspi issue. Edit your apache config file, then add the line
SSPIPerRequestAuth = on
to the section where you've configured the mod_auth_sspi module (you
might have to update to a newer version of that module).

The problem is that the default setting of sspi is so that the
authentication times out, and neon would have to re-authenticate. But
neon doesn't handle the re-authentication well enough.
