Re: Suggest a new feature: adding smart card support to windows svn client in version 1.5

Hi

Yes I know that this should be implemented in the authorization
library in subversion, but my question was, if there is a known
solution yet, because this topic is 1,5 years old, and I thought there
might be a solution right now, maybe?.

If there is a solution, I wanted to know if it is possible to
integrate this to tortoisesvn via context menu selecting which
certificate you want to use, and this should be part of tortoisesvn,
or am I wrong?
And if there is no solution until today I need to find one because I
really have this requirement, and think that I am not alone with this
wish.

Greetings

Christoph
