I've found more interesting behavior. I was doing this work on the command line for a few minutes, supplying the manual "--password" command-line parameter. After I finished that work I went back to Eclipse and I later realized that I wasn't getting prompting from SVN anymore. I then went back to the command line and tried not supplying the "--password" parameter, and it worked fine. If I understand this correctly, when you supply a working password through either the command line or Subversive, neither should ask again. The command line appears to have stored it correctly, but Subversive did not. I then tried restarting Eclipse (just to be sure), and it's still not presenting the password dialog. > On Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 15:36, KARR, DAVID (ATTSI) <dk0...@att.com> > wrote: > > A few days ago my login got moved from one Windows domain to another. > > I've had to deal with several problems as a result of that.
