I may have found the problem - at least this would explain why the server is trying to authenticate JavaSVN client but not a browser (and I'm able to browse the repository without authentication with just a regular browser). At http://forum.textdrive.com/viewtopic.php?id=2686 they are discussing a similar problem:
"So� looks like after I got some of the problems with subclipse figured out its looking like a mod_security issue. I�ll open a ticket now Jason. :-)" and "(edit: corrected the �JavaSVN� agent below. I incorrectly had it as �Java SVN� ) jason suggested adding a SecFilterSelective line to my .htaccess file. I added: Code: SecFilterSelective �HTTP_USER_AGENT� �JavaSVN� �allow,nolog� and that seemed to do it. So in summary, the mini-tute to get the JavaSVN version of subclipse working on Textdrive seems to be: � install the 3 plugins (Subclipse 0.9.28, JavaSVN Library 0.8.5, JavaSVN Subclipse Extension 0.8.5) from tigris.org and tmate.org in eclipse (using their update servers) � create the repository using webmin � make sure you have JavaSVN selected in Window->Preferences->Team->SVN preferences and not the CLI version. � add a line to your .htaccess to allow the client in if you get a �precondidion failed� error Last edited by poswald (2005-04-08 21:29:18)" Could one of the committers check the .htaccess file? Kalle -----Original Message----- From: Korhonen, Kalle Sent: Wed 5/4/2005 1:24 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Subclipse problem with MyFaces repository I'm on Red Hat AS 3.0, using Eclipse 3.0 with subclipse client and JavaSVN plugin (JavaHL's only available for Windows?). I get: "Error while creating module: org.tigris.subverison.javahl.ClientException: Authentication challenge is not supported: null" and in the log an uncatched SVNAuthenticationException. First, has anybody seen the same problem? Second, why does the server even send authentication challege for read-only repository? Or, is the problem caused by something else? Third, in the Eclipse SVN repository dialog, I should leave username / password empty right? Tried it with a couple of different ways, but can't get it to work. Can anyone think of anything else I'm doing wrong? Kalle
