How to solve svn: E230001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL and svn: E230001: Server SSL certificate untrusted error?

Question

How do I solve this error:

Error

Source control operation failed:
svn: E230001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'Url path'
svn: E230001: Server SSL certificate untrusted

Answer 1

the certificate is probably user based. if you run CCNet console and not CCNet service, does it work ?

if so, run CCNet service as that user.

Answer 2

There are two issues in latest Subversion 1.8 regarding SSL certificate verification:

1. Check for hostname is case-sensitive, while it should be case-insensitive
2. Subversion doesn't display reason why certificate is not trusted

Both issues fixed in Subversion 1.8.3: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/tags/1.8.3/CHANGES

• ra_serf: ignore case when checking certificate common names (r1514763)
• ra_serf: output ssl cert verification failure reason (r1514785 et al)

So I recommend you upgrade to Subversion 1.8.3 and see why certificate is not trusted.

Answer 3

If you trust the server (ie local network) you can ignore the cert. Just add this parameters:

--non-interactive --trust-server-cert

Example:

svn info -r HEAD --non-interactive --trust-server-cert
