Use SVNKit with Kerberos: Hudson, IntelliJ

Rate this Message:
Hi,
I'm an Hudson and IntelliJ user and our company recently switched over to a svn server that uses Kerberos for authentication. I'm completely lost as I've heard SVNKit doesn't work with Kerberos but can somehow be configured. My biggest headache is getting my IDE running again. Idea uses SVNKit and when I try (from my Macbook Pro) pointing to the new server URL, ssh+svn://newserver Idea prompts for authentication. This is after I've already issued kinit from the cmd line. How can I configure SVNKit to use tunnels as mentioned here: http://www.nabble.com/can-you-use-an-external-SSH-client-in-SVNKit-td22338661.html#a22338661 Is set in a config file? If so which config file? Where do I find more documentation? Is this listed somewhere in the svn redbook as a svn client config or is it an SVNKit config? I can browse the svn server from the cmd line but I cannot get my IDE to work. I disparately need help as I've already posted on the IDE community support page with no response. |

You may make SVNKit use external program to establish tunnel. First, you should put tunnel definition into Subversion configuration file (located at ~/.subversion/config) into [tunnels] section: [tunnels] kssh=/full/path/to/ssh -all -options -needed Tunnels is standard Subversion featured documented in Subversion Book and in the configuration file itself. The only difference with SVNKit is that by default SVNKit doesn't look for tunnel for "ssh" and uses java SSH library instead. So this is why I named tunnel "kssh". Then, as soon as tunnel is defined, you should use URLs of the following form to access repository: svn+kssh://hostname/repos/path SVNKit will parse out "kssh" and then will look for a tunnel definition. Please let me know if that works for you. Alexander Kitaev, TMate Software, http://svnkit.com/ - Java [Sub]Versioning Library! http://sqljet.com/ - Java SQLite Library!

Hi Alex,
I tried using an ssh tunnel with Hudson but I get an error: org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: Cannot find tunnel specification for 'kssh' I recall there was an API level flag that Hudson needs to set in order to enable tunnels. Could this be the case here? Could you explain which flag it is? Does anyone have a build of Hudson with this flag enabled?

Hello Clifton,
Tunnel definition in Subversion configuration file should be used by SVNKit unless Hudson replaces ISVNOptions implementation with custom one, or specifies custom configuration directory. Also, in case Hudson is ran on behalf of the certain user, then configuration will be read from that user's home directory. Tunnel definition should look like (in the 'config' file): [tunnels] kssh = /usr/bin/kssh Make sure you're not using environment variables in definition - so far SVNKit couldn't expand them. Also, I'd recommend you to set up tunnel and make sure it works with SVNKit command line client, so you'll be sure that problem is Hudson-specific.

Thank you Alex,
I finally resolved my problem as the latest version of Hudson actually does recognize the tunnel. It just shows an error stating incorrectly that it doesn't. Brute force works. Thank you for responding so quickly.
