storing multiple credentials in tortoisesvn

Question

I am working on several projects in different subversion repositories using tortoise. How do I save the credentials for all my projects so I don't have to enter username/password everytime? If I save the credentials, only the latest credentials are saved, forcing me to clear the cache before using tortoise on another project.

thanks Thomas

Answer 1

I also use XP-Dev with more than one login and had the same issue.

I used the following svn command line to do the initial checkout:

svn checkout http://xp-dev.com/svn/ProjectName  c:\dev\projectfolder --username myusername --password mypassword

This checked out the project and the credentials were saved so that Tortoise SVN worked following this.

Answer 2

The credentials are saved for every authentication realm string. If you want to use different auth data for different repositories, include the repository name in the realm string of your server.
