Subversion in Intellij keeps asking for authentication

Question

I hope someone can help me solve this frustrating issue that I am having.

I am trying to checkout a project from subversion but for some reason it doesn't let me.

At first when I put the URL, it gives me options such as whether I want to authenticate via password,ssh agent or ssh key etc. I choose the authentication with password option. At this stage the login is successful as I can browse my repository.

However, when I go to checkout a project from my repository, it asks for authentication again; I input the password but it keeps asking for the password again

The following window keeps popping.

I have tried the following solution without success:

• Cleared the authentication cache from the intellij subversion settings.
• Uninstalled and installed intellij again

• Found online that the following line might help if added to idea.exe.vmoptions

  -Dsvnkit.http.methods=Basic,Digest,NTLM

but this didn't work either.

Any advice?

In IntelliJ, the problem can be solved using the following steps for the following versions.

You can go to the svn console and perform any svn command like:

svn list https://www.repo.rr.com/svn/main/team/gaurav

Then svn promt password and ask if you want to save password. If you save password, Intellij will see the password too.
