Correct. SVN Edge does not support svnserve or SSH. That said, I
believe the svnserve binary is included. So if you want to use it, then it
would be up to you to configure everything for it. Might be easier to just
look for another way to inject a secret into your script. I think, as an
example, there are Jenkins plugins that can take a secure Jenkins
credential and set them as environment variable for the job. So your script
could get the password from an environment variable.

As with everything Jenkins there is probably more than one way to do this,
but here is one I have used:
