Are there any OpenVMS svnkit users out there that use svn+ssh?

[Andy Elster]

I have been unable to configure svn+ssh to  connect from an OpenVMS machine to a linux based repository without all the extra prompts for account/key/password etc even though I can SSH to the linux box automatically.

Hello Andy,

I'm not OpenVMS user, but I have some experience with running SVNKit
under OpenVMS.

By default SVNKit uses internal SSH client based on Trilead library
(formerly Ganymed). Probably due to some OpenVMS specific issues SVNKit
cannot find configuration files to open connection, if you would use
internal client, as a workaround you can add a number of system
properties to pass SSH credentals. Please read documentation on these
properties here -- http://svnkit.com/kb/user-guide-config-settings.html.

Another option is to use external client (which works fine as you
reported), you can define a tunnel which will be used by SVNKit instead
of Trilead implementation. Please refer to the following thread to have
an idea how to adjust run-time settings --
