RE: [Subclipse-users] Problem with HTTPS

Hello Michal,

JavaSVN does support SSL client certificates and this feature works for most
of the users as far as I know. By default it takes certificate from the
"servers" file, and also Subclipse (when JavaSVN is used) may prompt for SSL
certificate and passphrase when the following property set in server's file
group:

ssl-client-cert-prompt=yes

I would suggest you to do the following:

1. Try to put SSL client cert properties into "global" group, may be JavaSVN
fails to match your host name and find appropriate group.
2. Try to enable ssl-client-cert-prompt (Subclipse should prompt for SSL
certificate when JavaSVN is used).
3. Use latest version of JDK and install "unlimited strength" JCE - JavaSVN
relies on JDK SSL support, so older versions of JDK may not support SSL
certificate.

To get "unlimited" JCE visit http://java.sun.com/products/jce/javase.html

Please let me know whether above helps or not - I will try to investigate
what could be the reason of the problem.

Thanks,
