Both of the approached are nearly correct, but instead of specifying path to "auth" directory
File auth = new File("C:\\...\\auth"); ISVNAuthenticationManager authManager = SVNWCUtil.createDefaultAuthenticationManager(auth); one should specify path to config directory File auth = new File("C:\\...\\Subversion"); ISVNAuthenticationManager authManager = SVNWCUtil.createDefaultAuthenticationManager(auth); Could you try with "jsvn" utility that is distributed together with SVNKit? Does native SVN ask you to enter something from keyboard (passwords, secret key)? (by default SVNWCUtil.createDefaultAuthenticationManager() is non-interactive) And don't forget \\ in paths (should be "C:\\target"): SvnTarget.fromFile(new File("C:\target")) -- Dmitry Pavlenko, TMate Software, http://subgit.com/ - git-svn bridge > Hello, > thank you, but I don't get it to work. > I've tried to different approaches to successfully connect to the SVN repo: > > *** ONE *** > try { > String repo = "https://path/path"; > DAVRepositoryFactory.setup(); > SVNURL url = SVNURL.parseURIDecoded(repo); > final SvnOperationFactory svnOperationFactory = new > SvnOperationFactory(); > final ISVNAuthenticationManager authenticationManager = > SVNWCUtil.createDefaultAuthenticationManager(); > svnOperationFactory.setAuthenticationManager(authenticationManager); > try { > final SvnCheckout checkout = > svnOperationFactory.createCheckout(); > checkout.setSource(SvnTarget.fromURL(url)); > checkout.setSingleTarget(SvnTarget.fromFile(new > File("C:\target"))); > checkout.run(); > } finally { > svnOperationFactory.dispose(); > } > } catch (SVNException e) { > e.printStackTrace(); > } > > > *** TWO *** > String repo = "https://path/path"; > DAVRepositoryFactory.setup(); > File auth = new File("C:\\...\\auth"); > ISVNAuthenticationManager authManager = > SVNWCUtil.createDefaultAuthenticationManager(auth); > SVNURL url = SVNURL.parseURIDecoded(repo); > SVNRepository repository = SVNRepositoryFactory.create(url,null); > repository.setAuthenticationManager(authManager); > System.err.println(repository.getLatestRevision()); > > Both result in > > org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNAuthenticationException: svn: E170001: > Authentication required for '<https://xxx:443> Subversion Server on ABC' > at > org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.wc.SVNErrorManager.authenticationFailed(SVN > ErrorManager.java:47) at > org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.wc.SVNErrorManager.authenticationFailed(SVN > ErrorManager.java:41) at > org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.wc.DefaultSVNAuthenticationManager.getFirst > Authentication(DefaultSVNAuthenticationManager.java:186) at > org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.io.dav.http.HTTPConnection.request(HTTPConn > ection.java:654) at > [...] > > > What's wrong with the snippets?
