Authentification error

[seb...@gmail.com]

Hi everybody, 

I am quite new to the SVN enviroment. My company uses a Repo to manage a parts library for PCB design and I wanted to install it too, to get access to this library. 

Some Information beforehand: 

The company I work for, was aquired by a larger corporation a year ago. The whole library and SVN stuff is only used by the old aquired company. About a month ago or so, the corporation included us in their IT Systems, so we all got new email addresses, user names and so on. This means I can log on to my PC via the old user name/password and via the new corporation username/password. 

Now the prolem: 

I wanted to update the svn folder, located on my C: drive, via "right click, Update". On the new corporation user it simply states "Access to '...' forbidden" in the log and the status window after clicking update. 

I then wanted to clear the Authentification data in the SVN settings, but the storage of authentification data was disabled and so was the button to clear the data. I then added the credentials for the login in the "windows credential storage service" (no Idea what its called in English, sorry). But this didn't help either. And I don't ever get asked for credentials when updating this or other repos...so I guess SVN must get some credentials from somewhere else...

The weird part is, that if i log on to my old company User, I just click update and also without asking for credentials, everything gets downloadad without a single problem...

I already searched in google for a couple weeks now, and can't get anything that hleps me.

Thanks in advance for your comments!

Best regards,

Sebastian

Hello Sebastian,

Clearing the authentication data effectively seems to be a good idea. Did you also do that in your old Windows session?

And what happened to the SVN server during the "company acquisition"? Did it go through a migration of some sort?

Hi Justin,
By default my SVN didn't save the authentification data, I therefore can't really delete it, neither could I find the file where the data is/should be stored to manually change it or something.

As far as I know the SVN server remained unchanged, since the server is managed locally.

Thanks for your reply!

BR,
Sebastian

Sebastian,

Some ideas:

* Does the server require authentication for read access? For write access?

* Is there some sort of configuration which uses the MS Windows credentials for your SVN connection?

* Was the "save password" enabled some day? I suggest you explore the following directory to see if some credentials are effectively stored: %APPDATA%/Subversion/auth/ (from https://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug.html#tsvn-dug-general-auth)

Hi Justin,

I cant find any files containing any sort of credentials, but I uninstalled SVN multiple times, reinstalled it and after reinstalling it, it remembered the path of the repo I want to download. So to me it seems like there is some kind of folder/config file were something is stored...but I don't really know where to look for.
The folders in Appdata are clear, nothing is stored there.
I also searched the installation folder but nothing seemed suspicious to me.

BR,
Sebastian

Then I'm sorry but I probably can't help you.

if your repo is set up for domain authentication, you can try force TSVN to not use that:

in the registry, under HKCU\Software\TortoiseSVN create the DWORD key named "CAPIAuthz" and set the value to 0.
