How to set username/password to connect to Subversion repository in AnkhSVN in Visual Studio?

Question

I just installed AnkhSVN. I'm using Visual Studio 2010.

There is an existing Subversion repository on a server that I access via SSL (ex: https://svn.myserver.com/myrepository).

In Visual Studio, I set my source control to "AnkhSVN - Subversion support to Visual Studio" in the tools/options menu.

In the "Add to Subversion" dialog, when I try to add my solution in the repository, I enter https://svn.myserver.com/myrepository in the "Repository URL" field. Then, https://svn.myserver.com appears under "Subversion Repositories". When I select it, the "Create Folder..." button stays disabled and when I click OK, I get the message:

Please select a valid location in the repository to add to.

I want to add my solution in https://svn.myserver.com/myrepository/myfolder but it doesn't seem to be possible.

What am I missing?

Also: In Repository Explorer I add the url https://svn.myserver.com/myrepository and nothing happens. I cannot browse that repository. It looks like I cannot connect to the server.

I wonder why there's no popup asking me for authentication.

Does anybody know where to set username / password?

Solutions:

• You can go to Tools - Options - Source Control - Subversion Environment - Authentication Cache to clear the cached username/passwords

or

• The authentication data is saved to the following directories

%APPDATA%\Subversion\auth\svn.ssl.server %APPDATA%\Subversion\auth\svn.simple

Deleting all the files inside these folders will solve the problem. After deleting these files AnkhSVN will prompt you for username and password once again.

or

• From the file system right click->tortoise->settings->saved data->Authentication Data-Clear.
