TortoiseSvn and account locked

[Erwan]

Hi.

In my society we work with TortoiseSvn (1.6 and 1.7) on windows XP and 7.

Our policy is: each user must change his password every month and if a user fills a wrong password 3 times, the account is lock.
So, when a user change is password, TortoiseSvn displays a pop up to ask the new password. Sometimes, TortoiseSvn does not ask for the new password and try (several times) to make a connection to SVN and lock the account.

Did someone experienced this problem and how did you solved it?

For your information, we do not set proxy and SSH client in tortoiseSvn settings.

Thanks for any feedback on this issue

I did have this problem only with the commit monitor (which is a
separate program and will successively fail with all repos it has to
watch, each time with a password error) and Subclipse/Subversive
(ditto.).
I still might have kind of a solution: Since I am using the commit
monitor after changing the password before doing anything with Tsvn I
right-click on a random folder, go into Tsvn's settings and tell it to
forget all passwords in the "saved data" tab.
What I did have was an user whose Tsvn seemed from time to time to use
the wrong username with the wrong repo. But I hope the last update has
handled that.

Perhaps upgrading the *server* (or more specifically the program that
handles the authentification) might fix the problem: To me it sounds
like the server doesn't tell Tsvn that the failure of the connection is
based by a wrong password which would make it natural to retry to
establish a connection.

Kind regards,

Gunter.

TSVN should always ask for authentication if it fails with the stored
authentication.

Only if you would change the password while a dialog is open, then it
would not ask again.

Also, three failed authentications is maybe a bit low: When starting the
repository browser, TSVN issues multiple svn commands with each one
requiring authentication.

If you really require password changes that often, maybe looking into
using SSPI (formerly known as NTLM) authentication with a windows domain
would be a very good alternative: then users are authenticated using the
windows logon credentials, so it's always correct.
