Intellij SVN keeps asking for path to certificate when there is none


A slightly different version of this Subversion in Intellij keeps asking for authentication

I enter my credentials just fine. Once I enter the correct credentials it takes me to a popup that asks for my path to certificate, and certificate passphrase. enter image description here

This didn't used to happen until I changed my SVN password. Prior to this, simply enter in my SVN credentials would work fine without issue. Hitting cancel on that gives me an SVN:E175013 error, and hitting OK closes then reopens the same box.

The same issue does not happen in Eclipse. Simply providing the userid and pwd will allow me to access SVN, this is only happening in intellij.

So I cleared the SVN settings for my PC in the %APPDATA% path, as well as my Intellij svn's directory (.IntelliJIdea2017.1\system) I cleaned vcs/vcsCache and vcs-users in that folder.

My Intellij info

I'm using svn 1.9.5.1210.


Solution

  • Ultimately resolved the issue by uninstalling Intellij and all cache, settings everything. Then reinstall. Was able to fetch from SVN henceforth.

    I wasn't able to test Dimitri's note before I did the reinstallation, but it sounds like it could be it.

    The wrong password can be saved by IDE in a storage according to Settings - Appearance & Behavior - System - Passwords. Check the storage, probably set IDE to not remember passwords and restart. – Dmitriy Smirnov
