SVN - handshake failed : SSL error

Question

I am unable to update or commit to svn from a machine that did not have this problem until recently. I updated the tortoise svn client. I can delete the folder and pull a new copy down every time but cannot commit or update.

Unable to connect to a repository at URL

OPTIONS SSL handshake failed: SSL error: sslv3 alert illegal parameter

Answer 1

You're almost certainly using an SVN client which is to old.

Answer 2

I resolve that problem as follows:

1. Go with Chrome (or other browser that allows to save the certificate) to svn address
2. Save the certificate file
3. Install it into Trusted Root Center of Certificates (that could be named with other words, I dont know how exactly that named in english)

Also, changing svn client (from svn tortoise) to another solves problem too.
