I had a problem with a new repository set up by a colleague, that I was
trying to access using https. He had his own certificate, without a
trusted authority, so I got this message when trying to connect through svn:
$ svn list https://<his address>/svn/
Error validating server certificate for 'https://<his address>:443':
- The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the
fingerprint to validate the certificate manually!
- The certificate hostname does not match.
Certificate information:
- Hostname: <his name>
- Valid: from Oct 28 22:30:11 2005 GMT until Oct 28 22:30:11 2006 GMT
- Issuer: <his name>
- Fingerprint: <blah blah blah>
(R)eject, accept (t)emporarily or accept (p)ermanently?
I would respond with p (or t, or R), and got no action, as though the
program was still waiting for input.
I finally tracked down the problem: I was running svn in a Cygwin
bash shell, and something about that combination stopped the answer from
getting through to it. I tried the same command in a Windows CMD shell,
and things worked fine; after I permanently accepted the certificate,
things worked fine in Cygwin too.
I hope this helps someone.
