Question

I am using cornerstone for working with SVN on my Mac. I have several Working Copies checked out for which the SVN password recently changed.

Now I get the following error, if I try to update the working copies:

Description : You are not authorized to access the files in the repository.
 Suggestion : You might be required to provide a user name and password when prompted before being allowed to access the repository.

Technical Information
=====================

      Error : V4AuthorizationError
  Exception : ZSVNAuthorizationException

Causal Information
==================

Description : Server sent unexpected return value (401 Authorization Required) in response to OPTIONS request for 
...
     Status : 175002
       File : subversion/libsvn_ra_neon/util.c, 563

How can I change the password for these working copies?

Was it helpful?

Solution

The password has to be changed in the Repositories section for the appropriate Repository and a restart of cornerstone is necessary, so the changes become effective.

OTHER TIPS

Try below:

Right clik in the white place -->Tortoise svn -->Settings -->Saved data and then clear the authentication data.

Good luck!

It's true that you have to change your credentials in the Repositories section, but not obvious how to do that. Instructions: Control-click on the repository name. This brings up a menu. Choose "Edit Repository..." from the menu. This brings up a form with repository information that you can edit and then save. For example, my server uses http, so I edit the "HTTP Server" portion of the form.
