Re: Subclipse, client certs-plaintext password req'd?

Yes, I just tried it. The svn cmd-line client prompts
for both the certificate location and the password,
while Subclipse doesn't prompt for anything. svn
succeeds; Subclipse fails (reporting SSL handshake
failure, because it's not sending a certificate).
Checking the Apache logs also indicates that no
certificate was sent.
