After testing Hudson 3 for a while we finally upgraded and are now facing a number of problems which did not occur during test. The difference is that for testing we used the embedded Jetty while the production system runs on Tomcat.

After the upgrade all password parameters in our jobs had wrong default values and SVN credentials did no longer work and had to be entered again for each job. With more than 300 jobs this is not exactly nice.

It looks like SVN credentials are saved differently now. After entering credentials again, an additional entry made it into subversion.credentials.

Hi Reinhard,

It would be really great, if you add some error logs you are getting while performing the below steps.

I assume you are running the Hudson instance as a windows service. This issue could be caused because when a windows runs a service on start up, it executes as a "SYSTEM" user. So, the Hudson instance is executing as a "SYSTEM" user, and the certificate verification occurred on your username/password. Also if you go under the windows services window and use your login/password combination (See attached image). Under windows services right click Hudson -> properties -> Log On tab and login using "This account:" and specify your username/password combo.

HTH,

Regards,
Sidharth

I believe you are storing the credentials on a per job basis. If you want to store subversion credentials for all the jobs to use, go to: http://localhost:8080/scm/SubversionSCM/enterCredential which will store the subversion.credentials file at the HUDSON_HOME folder instead of each individual job.

Yes, we do store credentials per job, because this is what we need.

Hi Reinhard, between bundled Jetty and Tomcat, there should not be any difference. But there were two releases of SVN plugin on Jan 23 & Feb 13. We are wondering if your test and production environment switch was some where with in these dates. We are also looking, if we inadvertently introduced an incompatible format for credential store between these releases.

Meanwhile, we fixed our jobs. We noticed that the subversion.credentials files got an additional entry after updating the credentials. The first entry is the old one. So, the URL seems to be stored differently now. Why is this and why isn't this backwards-compatible?

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<hudson.scm.PerJobCredentialStore>
  <credentials class="hashtable">
    <entry>
      <string>&lt;http://mysvnhost:80&gt; Subversion repository</string>
      <hudson.scm.SubversionSCM_-DescriptorImpl_-PasswordCredential>
        <userName>...</userName>
        <password>...</password>
      </hudson.scm.SubversionSCM_-DescriptorImpl_-PasswordCredential>
    </entry>
    <entry>
      <string>http://mysvnhost/path/to/repo</string>
      <hudson.scm.SubversionSCM_-DescriptorImpl_-PasswordCredential>
        <userName>...</userName>
        <password>...</password>
      </hudson.scm.SubversionSCM_-DescriptorImpl_-PasswordCredential>
    </entry>
  </credentials>
</hudson.scm.PerJobCredentialStore>



Any clue what could be the problem with password build parameters I had also mentioned?

BTW, for the upgrade I installed Hudson from scratch and then copied over the existing jobs. Maybe this has caused the troubles?

What version of hudson and the svn plugin did you upgrade from? I believe I might have found a bug where the 
    <entry>
      <string>&lt;http://mysvnhost:80&gt; Subversion repository</string>
      <hudson.scm.SubversionSCM_-DescriptorImpl_-PasswordCredential>
        <userName>...</userName>
        <password>...</password>
      </hudson.scm.SubversionSCM_-DescriptorImpl_-PasswordCredential>
    </entry>
part actually gets stored in the hudson.scm.SubversionSCM.xml file instead of the credentials file where it should be.
