Extract TortoiseSVN saved password (2 answers)

Where does TortoiseSVN save password cached files in Windows 7?

I found c:\users\USERNAME\AppData\TSVNCache directory, but it is empty.

Answer 1

In c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\.

Answer 2

%APPDATA%\Subversion\auth

It is documented in the TortoiseSVN Help document file (CHM)

Answer 3

In Windows, there is an option (in TortoiseSVN → Settings → Saved Data → Authentication Data) to clear stored credentials in the last version.

TortoiseSVN is just the client, and if you want to add/change/delete/manage users and authentication for the SVN repositories, you have to run the SVN Server program. If you don't know where it is, it should be in your Start → Programs menu. If not there, it should be running as a Windows service you can find in Control Panel → Services. If not there, it could be found in C:/Program Files.

Answer 4

For Windows XP, it's stored at

C:\Documents and Settings\<<username>>\Application Data\Subversion\auth

Remove the auth folder, and when you access the SVN repository again you will be asked for the username and password.

Answer 5

For Windows 7 - Remove the auth folder from

c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\ 

and when you access the SVN repository again you will be asked for the username and password.

Answer 6

For most Linux distributions it's

~/.subversion/auth/

Answer 7

Use the Sysinternals file/registry access watch tool to find out for sure.

DiskMon is an application that logs and displays all hard disk activity on a Windows system. You can also minimize DiskMon to your system tray where it acts as a disk light, presenting a green icon when there is disk-read activity and a red icon when there is disk-write activity.

Process Monitor is an advanced monitoring tool for Windows that shows real-time file system, Registry and process/thread activity. It combines the features of two legacy Sysinternals utilities, Filemon and Regmon, and adds an extensive list of enhancements including rich and non-destructive filtering, comprehensive event properties such session IDs and user names, reliable process information, full thread stacks with integrated symbol support for each operation, simultaneous logging to a file, and much more. Its uniquely powerful features will make Process Monitor a core utility in your system troubleshooting and malware hunting toolkit.

Start these applications and create a new checkout of any passworded repository.
