TortoiseSVN not asking for authentication?

I had the same problem using beanstalkapp.com and was able to resolve it by using http*s* instead of http when specifying the svn checkout url.

That's what I get for not copying and pasting.

It probably has some authentication data saved, try:

right click->tortoise->settings->saved data->Authentication Data-Clear.

In some cases the "Clear"-Authentication data button remains disabled, then rename the folder in which the certificate is saved. Next time SVN will automatically ask for the password.

Just wanted to add one extra solution that might be stopping TortoiseSVN from asking for authentication. I had the situation that a user could authenticate from other machines just fine, but on this one machine it would fail with a "Unexpected HTTP status 503 'Service Unavailable'" and not ask for authentication. The Tortoise Settings > Saved Data > Authentication Data was clear, we could delete the %APPDATA%\Roaming\subversion\ files to no avail. Turns out that at some point the user had tried to "fix" a problem by setting the network proxy.

• Solution: Tortoise > Settings > Network > uncheck Enable Proxy Server

Cheers, hope this helps someone.

Sorry, didn't uncomment following line in the config:

password-db = passwd
