Removing SVN username and password from Eclipse does not work in Windows 7

Question

I am using Eclipse (Helios) 32Bit on Windows 7 with Subclipse 1.6.x.

I want to reset my SVN username and password. I found the following steps on the Internet:

• Close Eclipse or RAD / WSAD
• Change to the next directory, replacing {User} with the Windows login ID.
• C: \ Documents and Settings {User} \ Application Data \ Subversion
• Delete all files in the Subversion directory
• Open Eclipse or RAD / WSAD
• Sync with SVN repository
• When prompted, click Accept Forever to trust the certificate.
• When prompted, enter the Subverion user ID and password

These steps do not work. When I open Eclipse again and synchronize with the repository, it does not ask for a username or password.

Other information:

• I tried to delete the files in the Subversion directory, but during synchronization, Eclipse again creates a folder.

• In another post, I read about "deleting a .keyring file", but I could not find the location of this file.

• On the Protected Storage Contents tab, I only have the following:

  

Answer 1

There are various possibilities when passwords can be stored in eclipse and subversion. The keyring file is stored in the eclipse installation, which I used with a sub-loan in <root>/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.keyring . You should at least see if it exists there. The location of this file can be overridden by command line options, but you know. For more information, see the article “How to Change the Password of the Eclipse SVN Plugin” .

For another option, you can check:

• Go to Windows > Preferences Settings Windows > Preferences .
• Select General > Security > Secure Storage .
• Go to the Contents tab and open the SVN entry there.

You should now see the local cache of SVN-related things that SVN can use to answer the password question for the server. Delete the entries that are cached for the location you want to log in as another user. Make sure your subversion directory is also empty:

• Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\{User}\Application Data\Subversion
• Windows 7: C:\Users\{User}\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\

And delete the .keyring file if you find it.

I found that fil contains my SVN credentials in ... \ Eclipse \ config \ auth \ svn.simple \

It worked for me. deleting all files in the svn.simple directory (for Windows 7) deletes all saved passwords. One of them will have to install them, downloading the content again, but this is obviously the usual way.
