Error validating server certificate / The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority

I was able to use SVN with ease (checkin, checkout, update code) until recently the SVN server went through some changes. I started to see the following on each SVN command:

Error validating server certificate for 'https://svn.myserver.com:443':
 - The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the
   fingerprint to validate the certificate manually!
 - The certificate hostname does not match.
Certificate information:
 - Hostname: de-v-svn
 - Valid: from ...
 - Issuer: I...
 - Fingerprint: ...
(R)eject, accept (t)emporarily or accept (p)ermanently?


It worked fine when I selected  (p)ermanently but had to do it again next time I used  SVN command.

Solution:
Delete ~/.subversion folder.
svn cleanup
svn up

SVN red book

I normally use Subclipse plugin for Eclipse for SVN operations. It really makes life easy. I am a novice when it comes to performing svn operations using SVN commands. I found a very useful resource for that: HTML version of SVN red book (for subversion 1.5) Hope you find this useful :)

svn credentials caching

SVN client has a built-in system for caching authentication credentials on disk. It saves the credentials in the user's private runtime configuration area ~/.subversion/auth/ (Unix-like systems) %APPDATA%/Subversion/auth/ (Windows) If you dont want to catch the credeitials for a commit, use --no-auth-cache. $ svn commit --no-auth-cache Here we are telling the svn client that dont cach authentication credentials. You can disable credential caching permanently by editing your runtime config file (located next to the auth/ directory). Set store-auth-creds to no. [auth] store-auth-creds = no

Parameter vs Argument

The parameter is the local variable in the method and the argument is the caller-supplied value/reference. In the given example, the parameter for doSomething is 'a' and the argument is 22. public static void doSomething(int a) { System.out.println("The argument was " + a); } public static void main(String[] s) { doSomething(22); }
