Tortoise 1.8: Try 'Integrated Windows auth' first, then try' basic auth': no longer working

[Elias Gerber]

Hello

Since we've updated to tortoise 1.8 'Basic authentication' is no longer
working: In our server (Visual SVN Server) we've set up to 'Use Windows
authentication' and then checked
'Basic authentication'
and
'Integrated Windows authentication'

With Tortoise SVN Clients <= 1.7 we had the behavior that the clients
first tried 'Integrated Windows authentication'. If that did not work,
it tried 'Basic authentication': A pop-up message appeared, allowing us
to enter username/password. We used that for clients that were not part
of the Windows domain: The windows authentication failed (as the domain
control could not be reached) and the user was able to do 'Basic
authentication'.

Since Tortoise SVN Client only 'Integrated Windows authentication' seems
to work: Computers inside the domain can authenticate fine, without the
need to enter username/password. But computers outside the domain can
never enter username/password: We get a message-box about the
certificate to accept, and then authentication just fails, without the
possibility to enter username/password.

With an 1.8 Tortoise SVN client we have this behavior if we try to
connect to a visual svn server using svn v1.7 or v1.8.
With a 1.7 Tortoise SVN client everything works, no matter if the svn
server uses svn 1.7 or v1.8.

We have cleared all "saved data", this does not resolve the problem.

Anyone an idea?

Are you using 1.8.0 or 1.8.1? Some auth problems were fixed in 1.8.1,
though there may be more to come. Almost certainly this comes from a
change in subversion, which now uses serf in place of neon as the http
library. (serf was optional but not the default in 1.7, but in 1.8 it
is the only choice).

We have the problem with the Client 1.8.0 and 1.8.1.

We also tested it without Tortoise, but with the "pure" Svn Command line
client: The same behaviour: If we do a simple 'svn checkout repo path'
svn.exe hangs after calling some routine in 'libapr_tsvn'. It eats all
cpu-time of one core and the memory usage constantly grows, I killed it
when it reached about 1 Gigabyte.

With Svn command line client v1.7 everything works.

Interesting: With Tortoise SVN Client v1.7, we tried both settings:

[globals]
http-library = serf
and with
http-library = neon

It works for both versions, so I doublt it is only because of the change
from neon to serf (?)

Well, I'll probably move the SVN list.

After some mailing on the svn-list: The source of the problem is known:

http://code.google.com/p/serf/issues/detail?id=77

So I can't do much else than wait until serf releases a new build with
this issue fixed, and then hope that TortoiseSVN will follow soon.
