A bit of a tale of woe, maybe one of you have fought this battle...

I have to support products that were originally developed on Windows Xp.  As part of the long term support process, I have to build the code base from time to time.  Enter Corporate IT who is on a mission to make the severs "more secure."  We use VisualSVN (latest version) and as part of the migration to the new server, IT enabled Microsoft Authentication.

Now the Xp client cannot access the SVN server.

Does anyone know if 1.8.12 on Xp can handle Windows Authentication?

I should have mentioned that the Xp client comes back with a "Error running context: An error occurred during authentication."

I'd already cleared the cache of saved items, so I would have expected a prompt for username and password.

In such a case you also have to enable basic authentication.
If AD authentication does not work, a password prompt is displayed.

Excellent point.  I thought the selections were mutually exclusive.  I’ll have to talk to IT when they get back.
