Are you referring to the TortoiseSVN version or the OpenSSL version? And the answer to both questions from me is "I don't know". That is what I am trying to figure out so that I can successfully compile a version that works with CAC authentication. I was hoping that it would be as simple as setting the three config arguments:
  <arg value="enable-capieng" />
  <arg value="-DOPENSSL_SSL​_CLIENT_ENGINE_AUTO=​capi" />
  <arg value="-DOPENSSL_CAP​IENG_DIALOG" />
in the OpenSSL.build file, but it doesn't look like I am that lucky. I know that in TortoiseSVN a lot has changed between version 1.5.5 and version 1.6.0. I was hoping someone could easily tell me that, "Oh, that functionality no longer exists in version 1.6.0 and we are never going back" In which case, I would tell my customers that they have to install version 1.5.5 and they never get to update to a newer version of TortoiseSVN. Or, tell me that I am just missing a crucial configuration option that will display the "OpenSSL Application SSL Client Certificate" dialog. I was really hoping that I could easily modify some configuration files to get CAC authentication working for any future release of TortoiseSVN, that way I can take advantage of new features and bug fixes of not only TortoiseSVN, but also of OpenSSL.

Does this mean that there is more than just a configuration option for making CAC authentication happen in new releases of TortosieSVN? If so, is it something that can easily be added back into the code base so that a configuration option can be set to compile this functionality? I would be willing to help with this if someone could help me in the right direction. It obviously worked in version 1.5.5, but I do not have any knowledge of the TortoiseSVN software and do not want to waste a lot of time searching for a needle in the haystack.
