After 1.5.0 upgrade, keeps prompting for ssh username

[stuart feerick]

I had been using TortoiseSVN 1.4.8 connecting to a Linux machine with ssh.  The
server's hostname is linux01.  I have Pageant running with my private key
imported and I have a Putty config called 'linux01' which connects to that host
and logs in as user stuartf.  I can start Putty, double-click on the linux01
session and it connects and logs in without needing to type any password or
passphrase.

But on upgrading to 1.5.0 this has stopped woking. Initially I had assumed
Tortoise SVN was the problem, but I see identical behaviour from the command
line client.  As a test case I am attempting a fresh checkout
since that doesn't require a working copy (so we can rule
out the working copy being corrupt somehow).  The repository URI is

    svn+ssh://linux01/home/svn/vs

or giving the username explicitly,

    svn+ssh://stuartf <at> linux01/home/svn/vs

These used to work with 1.4.8 but now both prompt for a username. When I enter
a username I am told that the Connection has closed unexpectedly.  How can I
make it realize that it should log in as stuartf using the private key I have
loaded in Pageant?

FTR I am using the following version:

svn.exe" --version
svn, version 1.5.0 (r31699)

Hi,

Did you tried modify the svnservie.conf file on you repository as following ?


[general]

anon-access = read
auth-access = write


to


anon-access = none
auth-access = write

Thanks for the suggestion. I have just tried this with no effect.  I am still
prompted for a username, and still immediately disconnected.

I've now fixed this.  The problems occurs (I think) if your Putty client has a
default session with the same host name as the one you actually set up for
svn.  I suspect plink just uses the first session with the right host name.  
As the default session can't store an auto-login all sorts of havoc ensue with
the session name ultimately being sent as a command.

Modifying the Default Putty session to have a blank host fixes the problem.

Stu seems to be right. My default putty had a url and a port setting. I cleared the url and ensured the port was on 22 then saved to default settings. Tortoise works now.  Thanks Stu.
