Eclipse, Subclipse 1.8.2, SVN 1.7.0 asks password every action


After I installed new Eclipse Indigo, it asks me for password every action I do in SVN Repository perspective (e.g. browse through every single folder ask password again).

Normally use SVNKit, it ask for password once per session. SVNKit doesn't support SVN 1.7.0 yet.

How can I fix this or is it normal behavior of JavaHL?

Note: I don't want to save the password, but I want to enter the password once per session & repository. If I restart eclipse, I want to enter password again.

Settings:

Update: SVNKit 1.7.4 is now available.


Solution

  • The once per session caching is a feature that SVNKit provides. JavaHL does not provide this. It sounds like you do not allow SVN to cache your credentials or you are using svn+ssh:// in which case SVN cannot cache your credentials. If it is the latter, you can store your SSH key on the server to avoid logging in and run ssh-agent on your client to provide the certificate to the SSH client.
