In the original post there was a quote from svn —version showing that plaintext cache was one of the available stores. I guess svn was built with the --enable-plaintext-password-storage option. Then plaintext password cache would be enabled, unless disabled in the config files, right? > I thought that was a change in trunk to put that back as an option for > 1.15? https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/CHANGES Wasn’t this change just to revert to the old default to enable plaintext cache unless disabled by configure?
