SVN BUG

[Swamy, Gagana Prabhu]

Hi ,

Recently I faced the following issue:

1)My password that is used is "#anusuya2893#"
2)While checking out, I mistakenly used the password "#anusuya#" and it worked fine without any error and the operation was successful also .
3)Any other combinations is not working but the 2 combinations(1 proper and the other improper combination) are working which I feel is wrong

Please let me know if this is an issue .


Thanks & Regards,

What version of Subversion on the client and server?

What OS on the client and server?

What server is being used? svnserve? mod_dav_svn?

What password authentication method is being used on the server?

That doesn't sound like a Subversion bug. That sounds like you are
using an old version if underlying Apache software with a *horrible*
password handling module.

Please publish which operating system, which version of Subversion,
and whether you are using web based access living on top of an old
Apache release, or using "svnserve" directly, or using svn+ssh based
access to the Subversion server. Each of those technologies can use
different underlying authentication. Only one of them, svnserve, is
built into Subversion itself on the server side.

3)Any other combinations is not working but the 2 combinations(1 proper and
the other improper combination) are working which I feel is wrong

Sure sounds like an issue. I doubt it's a Subversion issue, for
reasons mentioned above.
