The root url guess is new actually, our tests had shown corrupted files which we couldn't figure out. I'll pass the root url idea on.

2. Re: Adobe opensource SVN and all the authentication trouble
Glenn, do you have any logs that show when the auth request is occurring and what files worked before that occurred? Our team is still pretty confused and we seem to not be running into it internally.
Also, does your SVN client support 1.6 (it's not an older client)? Which client are you using?

3. Re: Adobe opensource SVN and all the authentication trouble
I'll have a look
I wonder if the internal team is not having the trouble cus they all have url root access?? Is this the case by any change?'
I have the command line svn from collabnet 1.6.9 (updated whenever they do)
Also sometime use TortoiseSVN 1.6.7.18415(64)
Oh and the root url idea, thats just something pulled right out of left field but please don’t be surprised if it leads you nowhere. :-)
Cheers as always Matt

You have a sandbox right? Is anyone who doesn't have a sandbox account running into this?

It's possible, I don't know exactly how the svn groups are set up.

7. Re: Adobe opensource SVN and all the authentication trouble
Hi again
I have some upload right, for patches etc but as yet I've not created a sandbox. I do have a registered username and pass to do so though. Using that with the trouble does not auth.
Thanks mate

10. Re: Adobe opensource SVN and all the authentication trouble
Hey guys,
I think I may have finally figured out what's going on. Unfortunately, it's a huge nasty bug in Subversion. http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3242
Basically SVN for some reason goes up to the root to find out certain things like OPTIONS and PROPFIND and we don't allow access to the root. Glenn asked before whether our username/passwords have root access, and I think within Adobe they do.
SO...
We have to figure out if it's OK to allow the client to basically see what's going on at the root and then deny access further down, or what.
This is going to take some more time, but now we at least have a path...

11. Re: Adobe opensource SVN and all the authentication trouble
great news. at least we all know what the problem is.
LOL, ok here's my easy answer. just give me root access, now of course i promise i wouldn't go checking out anything that suddenly started to show up in the projects directory. I'd just slide right past them and be a good boy. of course ;-)
well finding the problem is always 4/5th of the effort. so well done.
