Access to OpenAM svn server

Question

I have a problem accessing OpenAM SVN repository using Subclipse and was hoping that someone could give me a clue what can be wrong here. From documentation ( link ) I copied a link (https://svn.forgerock.org/openam/trunk/opensso/) and pasted it into Subclipse's SVN Repository location uri field. After waiting a while I've got an error:

RA layer request failed svn: OPTIONS of 'https://svn.forgerock.org/openam/trunk/opensso': could not connect to server (https://svn.forgerock.org)

I can access the svn url in my browser using given link, but cannot do it through eclipse/subclipse.

Any idea how can I grab those sources or where the problem could be?

Thanks.

Answer 1

could not connect to server indicates either a temporary connection error (like you or the server not being connected to the internet) or a misconfigured svn server. In a console, try

ping svn.forgerock.org

If this results in an error message, your connection is somehow impeded. If you can't checkout other public repositories, it's likely a firewall (typically coupled with an HTTP proxy for your browser). If you can checkout other repositories, the server may just be down at the moment; try pinging from another machine.

Answer 2

More than likely, your svn client needs to trust the certificate presented by the svn.forgerock.org svn server.

Have you tried it manually using the svn command line?
