VisualSVN and Basic authorization


This is driving me crazy... I have VisualSVN installed and configured. Now I want to change authentication method to Basic. So, I choose Basic authentication and apply that for the visualSVN server. After that I set the permissions for the repositories for Read/Write to my Windows user, Davor, which name looks like this DEKSTOP-B9QJV3G\Davor. I also set this permission for my Java repository.

The problem is, I can't authenticate to the SVN with this setup. My user, Davor, is the administrator of the machine, it is running Windows 10 and as far as I remember, I never set any passwords for this user.

How can I make this work? I want to make this setup in order to use Atlassian FishEye...


Solution

  • If you have to use Basic Windows Authentication in non-domain environment, create special Local Windows Accounts with passwords. These accounts should be used to access VisualSVN Server. VisualSVN Server does not allow empty passwords.
