svn - How to change password using TortoiseSVN?

Question

I need to change my SVN password. I am using TortoiseSVN client. I am not able to find the password change or add user option.

Is it possible? Is there any work around or command line syntax to create an SVN user or edit users?

Answer 1

To change your password for accessing Subversion

Typically this would be handled by your Subversion server administrator. If that's you and you are using the built-in authentication, then edit your [repository]confpasswd file on your Subversion server machine.

To delete locally-cached credentials

Follow these steps:

• Right-click your desktop and select TortoiseSVN->Settings
• Select Saved Data.
• Click Clear against Authentication Data.

Next time you attempt an action that requires credentials you'll be asked for them.

If you're using the command-line svn.exe use the --no-auth-cache option so that you can specify alternate credentials without having them cached against your Windows user.
