Re: TortoiseSVN lost my author name

Hi Helena,

keywords should be SSL authentication, Kerberos, NTLM authentication,
and Windows Directory Services.
For instance if you are using a Visual SVN Server, this would be the
details applicable for their product:
https://www.visualsvn.com/server/features/windows-auth/

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Stefan

>> I use TortoiseSVN x64 on my Windows 10 x64 laptop, accessing a remote server. The SVN server and my laptop are both on the same domain.
>>
>> Two years ago (I was running Windows 8.1 by then) I was given a username and password to access a repository. After a while of using the TortoiseSVN client, I grew tired of entering my username and password all the time, and checked the "save authentication" checkbox. It seemed to work fine.
>>
>> However, after some time, I realized that when I look in the log (TortoiseSVN -> Show log), on all my commits the author is empty. The commit message I wrote is shown, but there's no author. I am not allowed to edit it afterwards to enter my username, I get an error message.
>>
>> I tried on another client on another computer which is not on the domain, where I have not saved my details and had to enter them, and then it worked fine. My username appeared as author on my commit.
>>
>> I'm having the same problem on both of our repos.
>>
>> I've been trying to remove the saved credentials from my laptop, but to no avail. I tried removing the AppData/Roaming/Subversion/auth folder (which was empty anyway), but nothing happens and as soon as I interact with the repo again the folder is recreated, empty as before.
>>
>> I tried going to TortoiseSVN -> Settings -> Saved Data, and there the "clear" buttons on "Authentication data" are both disabled.
>>
>> I tried uninstalling TortoiseSVN, rebooting the computer, reinstalling it again, and checking out the whole repository anew (in a different location but on the same hard drive).
>>
>> I gave up on being able to solve this problem in 2014. Now, last week, I cleaned my hard drives and re-installed Windows 10 for other reasons, and I thought, this if anything must solve my problem. But it didn't, as soon as I had installed TortoiseSVN on my clean Windows and checked out my first repo, I was back to the same problem. The only thing that is consistent on my laptop before and after the Windows reinstallation is my domain user.
>>
>> During these two years I've continuously updated my TortoiseSVN client whenever an update was available. I'm currently using version 1.9.3.
> Could it be that your server side is set up to use/pass-through your domain user credentials automatically and therefore you have access to the repository without having to use another authentication mechanism?
> If that's it, you'd contact your administrator, I guess.
