I cannot quite figure out how but the Eclipse SVN plugin is locking me
out of AD even when it doesn't have invalid credentials. I notice that
I am working along doing many compares and merges and all of a sudden it
asks me for my AD password. At that point I'm locked out. Eclipse is
the only thing that could be responsible because every thing else runs
24/7 and has no problems.
I'll update it to see if it improves...
