Hi Team,

We are using below setting for authentication purpose

and we are facing issue like the password is not accepting and authentication page pop's up again and again(as shown below SS) and we can use that password in other applications or tools. Seems like synch issue between SVN and our active directry(AD)

Could you please help with this issue?

Hello,

It's unclear from the first screenshot if Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) is enabled in your server installation and it's unclear what URL you are using. By default, SVN clients use IWA for authentication when both Basic and IWA are enabled on the server. Normally, IWA doesn't prompt for credentials. IWA requires that your server and client computers are joined to an Active Directory domain. So is your client computer in domain when the problem occurs? And what full URL are you using?

IWA allows the client and the server to use either Kerberos or NTLM authentication protocol, with Kerberos being the higher priority choice, and to use the Negotiate (SPNEGO) mechanism to negotiate the protocol selection. Note that Kerberos requires that you use the server's DNS name in the URL, not an IP address. Either use the name of the server computer in the URL or create a CNAME DNS record (see KB224: Configuring a custom DNS name for VisualSVN Server in Active Directory for more info on creating a custom DNS name).

Anyway, to further troubleshoot this issue, you need to examine the events in the 'VisualSVN Server' event log:
  1. Open Windows Event Viewer.
  2. Expand the Applications and Services Logs category.
  3. Click VisualSVN Server.
So what events are logged when you attempt to authenticate to your VisualSVN Server installation?

I have to note that this doesn't look like an issue for the users@ TortoiseSVN mailing list, as most likely it's not specific to the TortoiseSVN client program.
