Hi
We currently have around 100 svn users, all of whom are authenticated by password.
Password authentication is fine when using a GUI client, but at the command line it becomes tedious. I have tried using Gnome keyring but it seems hard to configure.
What is a recommended solution for this problem?
Should we use ssh authentication? Bearing in mind that we would only do so for a subset of users.
Best regards
David

Hi Doug
Thanks for your reply.
> Gnome keyring is the normal answer, yes. Once setup it's pretty stable.
The issue for us is that I believe Gnome keyring requires a GUI desktop. We want something that works in a terminal ssh session (no desktop). Do you know of a way around this?
Would svn+ssh actually avoid password authentication in this scenario? Unfortunately, it’s not easy to understand how to go about it.
