Hello, I have a problem with the maven-release-plugin using the SVN credentials (details below). I always get an SVN authorization error. It seems that the release plugin does not use the existing credentials. Unfortunately I'm even not sure whether it is a problem of the maven-release-plugin or SVN. How can I check / get a log which credentials / whether credentials are actually used?
Please explain me how an installed SVN is used (SlikSvn and Tortoise SVN installed, both with version 1.8 of the subversion protocol). Details: I'm in a company where we have Windows 7, 64 bit systems and an Active Directory for Single Sign On (This Windows Kerberos / NTLM like stuff). The maven-release-plugin worked fine until switching from subversion 1.6 to subversion 1.8. However I had exactly the same problem last month after the monthly password change. Surprisingly I was able to get this solved by making a single commit with Tortoise SVN providing the credentials (and choosing Tortoise to save them). However after my laptop has been renewed the same problem occurs again and I can not solve it using the same trick as before. Using Google I found a lot of posts on stackoverflow and similar stuff where users report a problem with the maven-release-plugin and SVN credentials. However all of the solutions presented are unacceptable to me or do not solve my problem. For example I can not store my company wide password in some file which is checked into the SVN. Providing the parameters for each invocation of the maven-release-plugin adjusting them every month would also be somehow risky. At least it would be error-prone - every time when I forget to adjust the password after a monthly change I have to rollback the release, clean up the project, adjust the settings and try again. In my previous setup where I was able to solve the problem by a Tortoise commit I noticed that the SVN credentials persisted under %USER%\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\auth changed. Before there were only empty directories, now there is a directory svn.simple which contains a text file with the SVN realm, username and so on as expected. The password also seems to be fine but I can not definitely say as it is encrypted. Do you have any further hints on that, maybe a SVN mailing list where to go?
