Confused about svn config with ssl cert

[phillip....@gmail.com]

Jenkins 1.604, with svn plugin, master on linux

Why are there two different places to configure svn ssl credentials

First, in the jenkins account /home/jenkins/.subversion, one needs to setup the servers file to point to the relevant certificate file for the server

and then

in each build job configure, along with the svn URL, i have to enter my personal pkcs12 cert file (exported from browser).

This seems very confusing, and I don't understand why this is, or what is the difference between the two.

Can anyone help clarify this for me?
