How to change credentials for SVN repository in Eclipse

Question

I have Eclipse 3 4 2 installed on Windows with subclipse  Another developer added an SVN repository with his credentials and selected  Save password   Now every time I do anything with SVN his cached credentials are used  How can I change them to mine   I have already checked the  workspace  metadata  plugins org tigris     folders  and could not find any way to reset those cached credentials

http   subclipse tigris org wiki PluginFAQ head-d507c29676491f4419997a76735feb6ef0aa8cf8   Usernames and passwords Subclipse does not collect or store username and password credentials when defining a repository  This is because the JavaHL and SVNKit client adapters are intelligent enough to prompt you for this information when they need to -- including when your password has changed  You can also allow the adapter to cache this information and a common question is how do you delete this cached information so that you can be prompted again  We have an open request to have an API added to JavaHL so that we could provide a UI to do this  Currently  you have to manually delete the cache  The location of the cache varies based on the client adapter used  JavaHL caches the information in the same location as the command line client -- in the Subversion runtime configuration area  On Windows this is located in  APPDATA  Subversion auth  On Linux and OSX it is located in    subversion auth  Just find and delete the file with the cached information  SVNKit caches information in the Eclipse keyring  By default this is a file named  keyring that is stored in the root of the Eclipse configuration folder  Both of these values can be overriden with command line options  To clear the cache  you have to delete the file  Eclipse will create a new empty keyring when you restart

There are several places on Windows where SVN will place cached credentials depending on system configuration  Read SVNBook   Client Credentials    The main credential store is located in  APPDATA  Subversion auth and you can run svn auth command to view and manage its contents  You can also run cmdkey to view the credentials stored in Windows Credential Manager  If your SVN server is integrated with Active Directory and supports Integrated Windows Authentication such as VisualSVN Server  your Windows logon credentials are used for authentication  but they are not cached  You can run whoami to find out your user account name

I was able unable to locate the svn simple file  but was able to change credentials using the following three steps   Checkout project from SVN    Select the repository you need to change the credentials on  note  you will not perform an checkout  but this will bring you to the screen to enter a username password combination      Finally  enter the new username and password credentials     It s a bit confusing  because you begin the process of initializing a new project  but you re only resetting the repository credentials

On Windows 7  go to C  Users  User Name  AppData Roaming Subversion and remove the auth directory  Just be aware if you are connected to more than 1 SVN server that this will remove the authentication for all of the SVN servers you have configured  If you want to reset just a single server   Inside the auth directory you should see a folder called svn simple  Open each of those files with a text editor to determine which one to remove and then remove just that single file
