Networking and servers • Re: RPi3 Bullseye - how to configure subversion?

Background
...
So I can run the svn calls on the RPi3B and get the response I need if done on the command line.
But in that process it displays a login dialogue where it asks for the user's password....
....
I understand that it asks the first time I connect to the remote server but the next time it should have cached it!

Question
How can I configure my subversion client on the RPi3B such that it caches the login password and does not ask when a command is issued?
(After the first time when I type it in)

I don't believe you can (or should be able to) cache passwords.

If Subversion is prompting for the password as part of it's processing, then you need to ask Subversion.

If you are using some other protocol, line SSH, to connect then you can look at using SSH Keys instead of a password. See https://linux-audit.com/ssh/using-ssh-k ... passwords/. If not SSH, then look into the capabilities of whatever one is being used.

This does not happen if I run the same command on say my own PC or the mirror svn server (Ubuntu), so apparently the subversion on my PC and the mirror server is configured differently than on the RPi3.

If your company has an integrated shared security system, such as Active Directory, then you may need to bring the RPI into this. Again, no personal experience
