Using a private key with SVN

Hi,

Can somebody tell me how I can use a private key for SVN authenfication ?
I've tried to modify lib/redmine/scm/adapters/subversion_adapter.rb to have:

SVN_BIN = "svn -i /my/private.key"

But I have:

Processing RepositoriesController#show (for 82.65.49.8 at 2009-08-20 01:52:07) [GET]
  Session ID: ebe65de4c9d0f3df55da7e814fabdb55
  Parameters: {"action"=>"show", "id"=>"librairies", "controller"=>"repositories"}

Can you help me ?

Hi,

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, but I'm assuming that your SVN server is set up to be authenticated using private SSL certs and you need to get Redmine to authenticate to the SVN server using an SSL cert. I'm doing exactly that in my setup.

I run Redmine on a Linux server. All I did was to:

Setup a user
Make sure SVN was installed
Copy over a working SSL P12 package into the server
Setup $HOME/.subversion/servers config file such that I can connect to my SVN server from the command line (so all the configuration for SSL certs etc goes into the $HOME/.subversion/servers file.
Setup web server / Redmine to run as that same user I had just setup

The key assumption is that when Redmine invokes the svn command, it would run using the same environment variables as if I was running the svn command from the command line.

Hope this helps,
Wong
