Re: SVN authentication fails using subversion plugin v.2.5

Calls to svnkit.http.methods are only made in "SubversionSCM.java" from what I can tell.

The editor made no notes as to why they would have changed a call like:

System.setProperty("svnkit.http.methods","Digest,Basic,NTLM,Negotiate"); // as it was in 2.4.5

to

System.setProperty("lib.svnkit.http.methods","Digest,Basic,NTLM,Negotiate");// as it is now in 2.5

Changing all calls to "lib.svnkit.http.methods" back to "svnkit.http.methods" in this file and recompiling the* .hpi *image seems to allow me to check out my repositories without issues.

Maybe someone can find the reason in the check-in that changed the file.

Re: SVN authentication fails using subversion plugin v.2.5

On Ubuntu server - there does not appear to be any jenkins.xml - there are job specific xml configurations, but since there is not tree/element information about where to put the configuration string, I can't see how to update the configurations to make this work.

Re: SVN authentication fails using subversion plugin v.2.5

I'm having this problem in Jenkins 1.614 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server.

On Ubuntu server - there does not appear to be any jenkins.xml - there are job specific I have config. xml configurations in /usr/lib/jenkins , but since there is not tree/element information about where to put the configuration string, I can't see how to update the configurations to make this work.

I've found a couple of other bugs and discussions pointing to JAVA_ARGS and JENKINS_ARGS in /etc/default/jenkins - and have added the parameter as above, but it still is not working.

Re: SVN authentication fails using subversion plugin v.2.5

Hi,

This bug is marked as delivered in the changelog for version 2.5.1 of the svn plugin: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Subversion+Plugin

Can anyone confirm that this does indeed fix the issue for them - because I've tried installing Jenkins 1.623 with Subversion plugin 2.5.1 on a clean environment and I hit exactly this issue when I checkout externals (Windows master and Windows/Linux slaves). Either the fix is not actually contained within the plugin as listed, or I have encountered a different but visually similar problem.

I'm not currently blocked because I've reverted to the default svn plugin for now (1.5.4) and this functions perfectly in every way except for svn 1.8 support.

Re: SVN authentication fails using subversion plugin v.2.5

I tried to reproduce the error on a simple SVN configuration and repository, but I cannot reproduce for this simple case. The repository that fails on is a different svn server configuration with a more complicated repository structure. I will try to get a copy of the svn server configuration to try and reproduce the bug, if that doesn't work I will introduce some of the complexities such as externals and symbolic links to the repository. This may be one of those edge cases that are hard to narrow down.

Re: SVN authentication fails using subversion plugin v.2.5

Found out the problem. It is more of a missed dependency on my part, but the error message is still the same and doesn't point to my missed dependency.

Install Jenkins 1.624 with Subversion plugin 2.5.1 set to checkout version 1.8
Create svn repo1, with an external to repo2 with a different user name. (see attached script below for repo setup)
Create Freestyle Job, add svn server path to repo1 and only supply the repo1 credentials, uncheck ignore externals
Run job to produce svn: E200015: authentication cancelled

So the obvious problem is the missing credentials for the external. However when I switch the 2.5.1 plugin to checkout version 1.6, it doesn't fail (kind of question that it should fail); but it also gives me the nice output message that points to the problem. Our actual setup is much more complicated and was a repo for a different group with an external in an external. So it was three deep and I didn't know it was there, but the credentials were stored in my .subversion cache so it checkout fine on my box.

Just to add some more info, the svn repo was run on the Jenkins slave running the job so the external pointing to localhost was valid.

Re: SVN authentication fails using subversion plugin v.2.5

We had the same issue after a Jenkins update and could solve it by reentering the password on the credentials page.

The password is stored in the credentials.xml file in Jenkins home directory. When I reentered the (same) password, the encrypted password hash apparently changed in the credentials.xml.
Maybe the password encryption method of the credentials plugin changed recently and the hashes are not properly migrated?

I hope this can help for someone else...

Re: SVN authentication fails using subversion plugin v.2.5

I think there are multiple issues all presenting with the same error message. I didn't see an update to the code so I'm assuming nothing has been done to clear up the issues. I think for the problem I was having, issuing an error message in 2.5.1 similar to the error message in 1.6 would point the user to the resolution. This would at least separate out a common mistake that presents as one of the multiple issues under the "svn: E200015: authentication cancelled" error message.

Re: SVN authentication fails using subversion plugin v.2.5

I resolved the issue with subversion plugin 2.6 and setting -Dsvnkit.http.methods=Basic parameter in jenkins.xml file. The first time i included it at the end but the parameter didn't get picked up. You should place it before -jar like ".... -Dsvnkit.http.methods=Basic -jar "%BASE%\jenkins.war".
I used just basic as I don't need anything else. You will see in System information if it gets picked up after restarting jenkins. Check Manage Settings/System Info and search for "svnkit.http.methods".

Jenkins ver. 2.7.1 / Subversion 2.6

Re: SVN authentication fails using subversion plugin v.2.5

The source code of svnkit authentication looks like a maze of protocols, managers and special cases. So I followed someone else's work-around by setting the Jenkins project's SCM to None and using the Cygwin's svn command in the first build step to check out the code. I had to add "--username USER --password PASSWORD" in a one-off invocation of the job to get svn store the credentials in the Jenkins agent's home.

Setting the svnkit.http.methods property to Basic in both the master and the slave did not make a difference for me.

Re: SVN authentication fails using subversion plugin v.2.5

Hello all,
I have the same issue with Jenkins 1.609.3 and SVN 2.5.7

The error is intermittent, it works 50% of the time and when it fails, I get the "org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNCancelException: svn: E200015: authentication cancelled". If I retry, it will sometimes pass and complete the build.

I have a similar problem with the twist that util/lib is an [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.externals.html] directory under the same subversion server.

The platform is Linux Ubuntu 16.04.

Hi Jens,

Try adding "additional credentials" in your job with the realm defined as svn+ssh://svn.example.com with credentials that fit with that server/repo.
Thanks,

Re: SVN authentication fails using subversion plugin v.2.5

Thank you! That worked but I don't understand why it worked? Didn't I just specify the same credentials again without the specific directory?
Doesn't it try to use the same credentials when resolving an External?

Re: SVN authentication fails using subversion plugin v.2.5

See JENKINS-21785. It's supposedly a security enhancement on forcing externals to be explicitly defined with their credentials. Not sure why only the changelog calculation is affected and not the actual checkout... It definitely does not use the same credentials as the Repository URL anymore when accessing externals.

Re: SVN authentication fails using subversion plugin v.2.5

I'm getting the:

org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNCancelException: svn: E200015: authentication cancelled

When trying to connect to an Assembla SVN repository via SSH. I am able to connect via HTTP with a username and password but not through SSH. I've tried all of the workarounds listed here with no success.

Assembla requires that an environment variable called REPO_NAME be set and forwarded for svn+ssh. The environment variable is set and the SendEnv is configured in ~/.ssh/config:

Host subversion.assembla.com
SendEnv REPO_NAME

It works via the command line as the Jenkins user. Will this be send through the subversion plugin in Jenkins?

Re: SVN authentication fails using subversion plugin v.2.5

For what it's worth, I was getting this issue because my svn repo was using a self signed cert. I had to add that cert to java's cacerts keystore, using portecle on Windows, and then it worked fine.
