The FAQ says that usernames and passwords are cached once and then not prompted
for, and to be re-prompted requires deleting the cached info
(http://subclipse.tigris.org/wiki/PluginFAQ#head-d507c29676491f4419997a76735feb6ef0aa8cf8).

But I just installed Subversion and Subclipse for the very first time, created a
repository, tried to create a remote folder in Eclipse, and got the mkdir -m ""
svn://localhost Authorization failed error. I was never prompted for username or
password.

This supposedly indicates inadequate cached credentials. But I have no cached
credentials--this is an install of SVN for the very first time. No Eclipse
keyring, nothing but empty directories in %APPDATA%\Subversion​\auth, etc.

All of the responses online such as
http://subclipse.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1047&dsMessageId=860995
refer to cached credentials, which I don't have, so none of the responses online
are helpful.

Is there some other location in which I should be looking for cached credentials?

Subversion works via a challenge-based auth system. So you cannot push the credentials and have them
used.  Basically, the server decides if it needs credentials and then challenges the client.  The client in turn
calls a callback function to get the credentials.  Our role in this equation is simply to provide the
implementation of the callback function.

I think your problem is that you have not edited the svnserve.conf file on your repository to setup the auth
rules and usernames/passwords.  The behavior you describes matches the default for a new repository
before this has been done.

Yes, that was the problem. I had edited the passwd file to add users and
passwords, but had not enabled password-db in the svnserv file. Please close this.
