Is it just a matter of using the command line first to set the creds? I found the auth/svn.simple folder where the info is stored.

The key is to use certificates for your SSH client connection instead
of a username/password. With a client certificate you can login
without being challenged for credentials. If you secure your
certificate with a passphrase, then ssh-agent can be used to
automatically provide that passphrase. But you only need to secure
your certificate with a passphrase if it is not physically secure in
your home folder.
