[Subclipse-users] Important: JavaSVN and NTLM support in Subclipse 1.1.4

Hello All,

There were several error reports from users who use JavaSVN client adapter
in Subclipse 1.1.4 and NTLM (SSPI) authentication on the server side.

There're several ways to resolve this problem:

1. Switch adapter to JavaHL.

2. Make JavaSVN prefer Basic authentication over NTLM one.
To do that put the following line into ECLIPSE_HOME/configuation/config.ini
file:

javasvn.http.methods=Basic,NTLM

The reason of the problem is that previous version of JavaSVN (1.0.6) didn't
support NTLM authentication at all and always falled back to Basic http
authentication method. Recent version (1.1.0.beta4) supports NTLM but it
looks like that support doesn't work well in all environments. Before giving
up with JavaSVN one could try passing full user name in form of
DOMAIN\\USERNAME (in upper case), password should also be in upper case.
Next versions of JavaSVN will provide better NTLM support and also will
automatically fall back to other http authentication method (Basic or Digest
if suggested by the server) in case of NTLM authentication failure.

Thanks and sorry for inconvenience,
