Finding cached passwords

[Célio Cidral Junior <cc...@gmail.com>]

Hello!

How can I find my cached password in my local machine? I took a look
at C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Subversion\ and
found some files in .\auth\svn.simple but I found no plain password in
those files. Since svn 1.2.0 encrypts cached passwords, I want to
known if there is the need to upgrade to this new version in the case
of a security issue due to plain passwords being cached in the local
machine.

Thanks,

For Subversion 1.0.x and 1.1.x, \auth\svn.simple\ contains plaintext  
password caches.  You can read about it here:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch06s02.html#svn-ch-6-sect-2.2

If you upgrade to a 1.2 client on windows2000 or later, then the  
cached passwords will be crypted using windows cryptography services.
