What ports need to be open for TortoiseSVN to authenticate clear text and commit

Question

What ports need to be open for TortoiseSVN to authenticate  basic  in order to commit  I know it is not a good thing  but I believe username and password are in the clear right now   Let me describe as much as I know about set-up  and what seems to be happening   I am a contractor helping a state to deploy and modify a  mostly  public domain application  There is an SVN repository in a different state which contains the application  with read only privileges for everyone   In order for me to work on the site that I want to deploy  I must create a VPN connection  and then use Remote Desktop Connection to access the machine where the deployment will reside  When I am on that machine  I can browse the repository and export or checkout anything  When I attempt to commit I am prompted with a username password challenge  and it always fails   When I am at my home machine  I can commit to the exact same repository and the exact same place using the exact same credentials  I have asked the repository manager to verify that the username I use has all the necessary rights to commit  and I am assured that I do   So  even though I am getting an error message that describes something like  invalid credentials   I think that the authentication is being blocked  I am attempting to find out whether or not a default SVN installation would use the same listening SVN port  or a different one for authentication  I don t believe the authentication is encrypted   I d appreciate any suggestions

What s the first part of your Subversion repository URL     If your URL looks like  http   subversion repos   then you re probably going over Port 80  If your URL looks like  https   subversion repos   then you re probably going over Port 443  If your URL looks like  svn   subversion   then you re probably going over Port 3690  If your URL looks like  svn ssh   subversion repos   then you re probably going over Port 22  If your URL contains a port number like  http   subversion repos 8080  then you re using that port    I can t guarantee the first four since it s possible to reconfigure everything to use different ports  of if you go through a proxy of some sort   If you re using a VPN  you may have to configure your VPN client to reroute these to their correct ports  A lot of places don t configure their correctly VPNs to do this type of proxying  It s either because they have some sort of anal-retentive IT person who s being overly security conscious  or because they simply don t know any better  Even worse  they ll give you a client where this stuff can t be reconfigured   The only way around that is to log into a local machine over the VPN  and then do everything from that system
