Thanks Thorsten and Ryan. I have turn on the logging and now on server itself I issue the following command: - svn co svn://192.168.4.64/home/RKapur/repo3
I see this in the sever log file: 1190 2012-07-24T14:29:51.004017Z 192.168.4.64 harry home/RKapur/repo3 open 2 cap=(edit-pipeline svndiff1 absent-entries depth mergeinfo log-revprops) / SVN/1.6.11%20(r934486) - 1190 2012-07-24T14:29:54.920106Z 192.168.4.64 harry home/RKapur/repo3 get-latest-rev 1190 2012-07-24T14:29:54.920247Z 192.168.4.64 harry home/RKapur/repo3 reparent / 1190 2012-07-24T14:29:54.920336Z 192.168.4.64 harry home/RKapur/repo3 ERR subversion/svnserve/serve.c 167 170001 Authorization failed Also when I said the above command - svn client side communications is as follows: [rkapur@nyc-devhieapp01 client]$ svn co svn://192.168.4.64/home/RKapur/repo3 Authentication realm: <svn://192.168.4.64:3690> repo3_realm Password for 'rkapur': Authentication realm: <svn://192.168.4.64:3690> repo3_realm Username: harry Password for 'harry': ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION! Your password for authentication realm: <svn://192.168.4.64:3690> repo3_realm can only be stored to disk unencrypted! You are advised to configure your system so that Subversion can store passwords encrypted, if possible. See the documentation for details. You can avoid future appearances of this warning by setting the value of the 'store-plaintext-passwords' option to either 'yes' or 'no' in '/home/RKapur/.subversion/servers'. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Store password unencrypted (yes/no)? yes svn: Authorization failed [rkapur@nyc-devhieapp01 client]$ Now 1) as you see above it always challenge me for "rkapur" password - I think its because first I login this linux box as "rkapur" and then did "su - some_other_user" - so therefore its always somehow ask me for "rkapur" password. After then it ask me for username for which then I said "harry" and the default password as in the file. I am sure I typed in correct password as in file but still gives this error.

You snipped the part where he showed that he subsequently logged in as harry, a user who is in the password file: > On Jul 23, 2012, at 15:45, Kapur, Rajneesh wrote: > >> C:\Program Files\CollabNet\Subversion Server>svn co >> svn://172.20.212.6/u01/app/repo3 >> Authentication realm: <svn://172.20.212.6:3690> repo3_realm >> Password for 'rkapur': >> Authentication realm: <svn://172.20.212.6:3690> repo3_realm >> Username: harry >> Password for 'harry': ************ >> svn: E170001: Authorization failed Check the server log file to see why authorization failed.
