Defect #787
closed
Subversion: Handle failed certificate verification
Added by David Förster almost 17 years ago.
Updated about 8 years ago.
Description
When the server certificate of the webserver, serving a subversion repository over HTTPS cannot be verified, redmine just fails silently. The expected behaviour is to be prompted whether to accept the certificate anyway or to get the error message displayed at least.
This is the complete error message from the logfile:

This solution works when Redmine was started using command
"ruby script/server webrick -e production"
but if Redmine was installed as a windows service this solution doesn't work. I can list repository using cmd and typing
svn list --xml "https://my_svn_location"@HEAD
but at my local redmine site I don't see the repository content.

Does somebody know what is wrong and how to fix this?
Ok, I fixed this :)
I changed line 228 in subversion_adapter.rb
Original line was:
str << " --no-auth-cache --non-interactive"
Changed line looks like this:
str << " --no-auth-cache --trust-server-cert --non-interactive"

unfortunately --trust-server-cert is only available in Subversion 1.6

so,
ho fix it? %)
--trust-server-cert doesn't work.
saved cert with svn command - and it doesn't work too.
I have a same problem

had same problem here as above with svn 1.5.
solved like this:
edited the redmine/lib/redmine/scm/adapters/subversion_adapter.rb from:
#SVN executable name
SVN_BIN = "svn "
to
SVN_BIN = "svn --config-dir /tmp/subversion_config "
don't forget to let access to to this dir to redmine user (i'm runing redmine as redmine user)
run this command to cache certificate data (replace xxx with your data):
su redmine -c 'svn list --config-dir /tmp/subversion_config --xml https://xxx/svn/xxx/trunk'
restarted redmine.
hmm, no change, still error:

I am also having this problem:
redmine-0.9.3
subversion-1.6.9
Maybe this is a red herring but...
When I run 'svn list -xml' via CLI, there is a long pause in the output exactly at the place where redmine reports the error. Is it possible that the REXML parser is terminating it's input due to some kind of time out?

It was indeed a red-herring. I switched from mongrel back to WEBrick and it is working again now - if I find out what's up with my mongrel setup I'll report back.

Please open a thread in the forums to get help. The issue tracker is not suited for that.
Any news for this?
Or it's moved to the forum already -- if so , what's the new url?
Meet the same issues , too .
Caution, because if the ssl certified is expired the error is the same:
# su - redmice -c "svn list --config-dir /tmp/subversion_config --xml
https://test.com/svn/project/trunk"

Hi all,
I am confused in this issue for a long time and found a solution finally.
The following web page is the reference.
http://huawuya.blog.hexun.com/62094448_d.html
I did two steps to solve this problem.
1.execute following instruction to let your computer trust SVN Server.
svn ls --config-option config:auth:store-auth-creds=yes https://111.222.111.222:8443/svn/myproject
2. Modify [redmine]\lib\redmine\scm\adapters\subversion_adapter.rb line 265:
from
str << " --no-auth-cache --non-interactive"
to
str << " --no-auth-cache --non-interactive --config-dir \"C:/Documents and Settings/myaccount/Application Data/Subversion\""
for win7 :
to
"--no-auth-cache --non-interactive --config-dir C:/Users/CD-SVN/AppData/Roaming/Subversion"
then restart redmine and it worked!!
Hope it will work for your environment.
Just wanted to update everyone trying to get this to work: The solution provided by Kos Huang works. (I'm using version 2.0.3)
I tried everything until I bumped into this.
Thanks so much Kos!
Solution From Kos Huang worked for me too but with an exception:
I changed subversion_adapter.rb
from
str << " --no-auth-cache --non-interactive"
to
str << " --no-auth-cache --trust-server-cert --non-interactive"
I can confirm this issue in:
Environment:
Redmine version 2.5.2.stable
Ruby version 1.9.3-p551 (2014-11-13) [x86_64-linux]
Rails version 3.2.19
Environment production
Database adapter Mysql2
SCM:
Subversion 1.8.8
With same dump in log file:
Error parsing svn output: #<REXML::ParseException: No close tag for /lists/list
The expected behavior would be to accept different server certificate.
In my case, certificate had expired, and I replaced it with Lets Encrypt certificate.
The ONLY solution that worked for me:
1. logged in as redmine user to server console (su - myredmineuser)
2. performed svn list https://myRedmineRepo
3. accepted certificate permanently
4. logged in back to my Redmine and clicked on repository - now working
Update, supposigly SVN 1.9 does have a new flag for this:
--trust-server-cert : deprecated; same as --trust-server-cert-failures=unknown-ca
--trust-server-cert-failures ARG : with --non-interactive, accept SSL server
certificates with failures; ARG is comma-separated
list of 'unknown-ca' (Unknown Authority),
'cn-mismatch' (Hostname mismatch), 'expired'
(Expired certificate), 'not-yet-valid' (Not yet
valid certificate) and 'other' (all other not
separately classified certificate errors).
So in my case, change in svn_adapter.rb should be:
str << " --no-auth-cache --trust-server-cert-failures=cn-mismatch --non-interactive"
