old certificates

hi,

is there a possibility to accept old certificates forever? somehow it
is not userfriendly to ask all the time. the only possibilty i know is
to allow to store auth-creds, but this means storing passwords,  which
is not desireable.

Are you using an ancient client?  It should be asking that question
already: 


$ svn ls https://svn.collab.net/repos/svn

Error validating server certificate for 'https://svn.collab.net:443':
 - The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the
   fingerprint to validate the certificate manually!

Whoops, I misunderstood.  Now I understand exactly why we just merged
this new config option into 1.1.0-rc3.  :-)

1.1 has (i.e. 1.1.0 will have) a store-passwords config option that you 
can set to no while keeping store-auth-creds set to yes. That will make 
it possible to avoid storing passwords without disabling the possibility 
to accept certificates permanently.
