ssl-authorities-file

I recently upgraded from Subversion 0.20 to 0.26. When I did so I began
getting the following message:

Error validating server certificate: Unknown certificate issuer. Accept? (y/N):

As best as I can understand it, this is caused because my certificate has
the name "foobar.net" in it but the actual name is "dev.foobar.net". As has
been stated in previous emails to this list, the first time it asks it
waits for an answer, the second time it asks it seems to just quit before
you can answer. I looked through the archives and it seems that the answer
is to use the "ssl-authorities-file" configuration option.

I copied the servers certificate file (foobar.net.crt) to
c:\foobar.net.crt. I inserted the following lines in the servers file:

[groups]
foobar = dev.foobar.net

[foobar]
ssl-authorities-file = /foobar.net.crt

Unfortunately, it continues to ask me the question. My server is running
Linux and my clients are running Windows 2000.

Any suggestions? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Jason Stewart
