We tried installing a SVN 1.6.16 client on a HPUX platform. We had to install some packages missing for /dev/random and also a SSL upgrade but it seemed to work in the end. The client ran ok and contacted our SVN server over https which tried to authorize the user against our LDAP server. The strange thing was that we got a "password mismatch" error from LDAP.
We ran the client like this : svn info <repos-path> And were prompted for password (userid I guess was picked from the logged in id), anyway on the server log the username was shown correctly. This error happened for all our users, but we found out after a lonnnng time a workaround : svn info <repos-path> --username <user> --password <password> This worked ok! And now we were prompted to store user/password in the .subversion folder, and it was cached ok for later use without suppling user/pw. Now this is strange, anyone have an idea why this failed in the first place?
