Auth with SingleSignOn - Siteminder - Subversion-TortoiseSVN
Does TortoiseSVN and Subversion client work with a web server single sign-on
products such as SiteMinder?
In the case of Siteminder, transparent access after the initial login is
achieved by the passing of cookies (e.g.
SMSESSION cookie) on subsequent requests from the client.
It appears that Subversion does not handle this, resulting in the user to
being prompted for user name and password on every action that is
done.....rendering the product nearly unusable.
Any insight would be much appreciated as we are trying to deploy Subversion
to our company utilizing our corporate LDAP/Single Sign On utility
[SiteMinder]

Not sure why this would be the case - svn is fully capable of
remembering passwords in a secure manner across invocations -
regardless of the mechanism used to present the standard basic
authentication challenge at the back end. And presumably SM must be
presenting a BA challenge for a logon to succeed.
