How do I change the SVN password from command line?
It is the best way for me if it can be done from the command line.
To change your password for accessing Subversion If that's you and you are using the built-in authentication, then edit your [repository]\conf\passwd file on your Subversion server machine.
On Windows, the Subversion client stores passwords in the %APPDATA%/Subversion/auth/ directory.
There are multiple ways passwords are setup on Subversion. It depends upon the server you're using (svnserve, http, svn+ssh), and the way the administrator has set everything up.
Subversion doesn't contain a built in authentication method. Instead, it can use many different external authentication methods from the very simple to the extremely complex. Some will allow users to change their own passwords and even setup their own accounts. Others require a system administrator to do it. It all depends upon your particular setup.
svn co http://server/src/repos
). I've set it up to use our Windows Active Directory, so the user's username and password is their Windows' username and password. It means I don't have to handle users' I forgot my password requests, and passed the whole account headache to our Windows administrators.htpasswd
and its location is configured by the Subversion administrator. It's possible that the System administrator has a way to let the users set their own passwords, but that's not necessarily true. In this instance, you have to contact the administrator and ask them to change your password.svnserve
(svn co svn://server/repos
). The standard way this is setup is that there's a passwd
file in the Subversion repository's config
directory. This is located on the system that's running the server, and you have no access to it. Again, you have to contact the system administrator.So, you're going to have to ask your Subversion administrator how to change your password. If you're lucky, there's a way to do it yourself. If not, you'll have to ask your Subversion administrator to change it.
