[JIRA] [subversion] (JENKINS-21785) Check for changes in folders linked via svn:externals fails due to missing credentials

Alternative ways to find out your auth realm:

Command line SVN:

svn --no-auth-cache --config-dir invalid info proto://host:port/path/to/repo will show the auth realm, possibly after asking you to accept the certificate temporarily.

$ svn --no-auth-cache --config-dir invalid info proto://host:port/path/to/repo
Authentication realm: <proto://host:port> VisualSVN Server
Password for 'danielbeck':


(invalid is the name of the directory – --config-dir – to get SVN client config from; in this case, should be non-existing dir, resulting in ignoring existing preferences like saved credentials). The dir will likely be created, just delete it afterwards.



Check the server config



If you use svnserve to serve the repo, check the realm directive in the [general] section of /path/to/repo/conf/svnserve.conf.



Patch the Subversion plugin



Unfortunately, logging is lacking in the current version of the plugin. This patch adds logging of URL and realm to auth attempts (logger hudson.scm.CredentialsSVNAuthenticationProviderImpl, level FINE):

Ask your SVN admin



Seriously. They'll know. (If you're the admin, well, maybe you shouldn't be.)
