[Subclipse-users] Possible Bug: Author names with spaces result in connection failure

Hi all,
A message was posted a few weeks ago regarding an issue with author
names that contain spaces. I have also encountered that issue. Here is
a brief summary:

Problem: Entering a subversion author name that contains a space, such
as "FirstName LastName", makes it impossible to create svn+ssh
repository connections.

Version: Found in Subclipse 1.1.9 although it might appear in other
versions.

Symptoms: When the connection is tested, an error is always returned:
"svn: Network Connection Closed Unexpectedly". The connection to the
repository cannot be established. It affects both password
authentication and key-based authentication.

Workaround: To resolve the issue, the Eclipse credentials file in
ECLIPSE_HOME/configuration/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.keyring needs to be
deleted so that the cached author name is discarded. Then, the
connection should be reestablished at which time the author name dialog
will be presented, and an author name with no spaces can be entered
instead. No other change in credentials is required. Deleting and
recreating the connection, reinstalling Subclipse, and switching
workspaces will have no effect because the information is cached within
Eclipse itself.

There does not appear to be an issue entered for this problem at this
time, but I apologize if this is a duplicate. I can easily recreate and
post additional information if desired. Please cc me on replies as I am
not subscribed to the list. Thanks!
