How to Remove Warning About Storing Unencrypted Password After Committing File in Svn

How to disable store password warning?

In $APPDATA$/Subversion/config file you have two auth-releated parameters

# store-passwords = no
# store-auth-creds = no

(with default values "yes"). You can:

  • uncomment both parameters and doesn't get requests in future (nothing will be stored at all)

or (better, more secure way)

  • confirm once storing unencrypted credentials and remove --username and --password option from command line in order to avoid easy interception of authentication details: cached data will be used (NOTE: globally used for any repository on 1.1.1.1 host)

SVN encrypted password store

It is a client issue. It warns you that the credentials used for the different servers are being stored in plain text. You can hide that warning or use an encrypted storage to cache the passwords.

Can't make SVN store passwords, even though the configuration is set to allow it

Thanks to your comments I found the problem - it's the settings in the servers file (don't store plain passwords). I wonder why there is this redundancy with the [auth] section of the configuration file. The SVN book also does not mention this when talking about storing passwords.

Mint - Stored SVN password was changed and now unable to commit

I was able to solve this by deleting the keyring file for MATE. It is a bit of a brute way of doing it but it worked. You can delete the keyring file for MATE with the following command:

rm ~/.config/mate/keyrings/*.keyring

How to save password when using Subversion from the console

In ~/.subversion/config, you probably have store-passwords = no. Change it to yes (or just comment it out because it defaults to yes), and the next time you give Subversion your password it should save it.

You might want to ensure that the owner and permissions of ~/.subversion/config are correct (no public or group access; 600).

I need to get svn_deff out put between two revisions in php

This error appears, because the svn command is run as the user who runs the webserver process (often called www-data). By default subversion will try to cache authentication data into the ~/.subversion directory of a user (which is /var/www for the webserver user on your machine).

If you don't want that, you can try to add the --no-auth-cache option to your command.

You may also want to add --non-interactive.
