The SVN client automatically supplies the certificate stored in the Windows Certificate Store (or using the client cert options from the servers file). It appears that I've managed to reproduce this problem with TortoiseSVN 1.14.8 and the svn.exe client: svn, version 1.14.5 (r1922182) compiled Mar 7 2025, 00:14:55 on x86_64-microsoft-windows6.2.9200 Firefox, MS Edge supply the client certificate to the server. But svn.exe, TortoiseSVN don't and display the error "svn: E120171: Error running context: An error occurred during SSL communication" when the servers file is unmodified (default, no modifications to the client cert options). I've also tried to configure the client cert manually in the servers file to no avail. The error "An error occurred during SSL communication" is shown regardless of the options I'm using in the servers file (ssl-client-cert-file,ssl-authority-files,ssl-client-cert-file-prompt,ssl-client-cert-password all with valid options). As far as I understand now, I don't have to make modifications to the servers file on Windows since the certificate is fetched from Windows Certificate Store automatically. I haven't tried other versions besides svn 1.14.5 and svn 1.9.7 yet. -- With best regards, Pavel Lyalyakin VisualSVN Team
