Problem Statement

Anyone using a Subversion server such as VisualSVN might require that NTLM/IWA is used.

Currently SVNKit does not support NTLM. A Native SVN Client is required.


Fisheye using native SVN eg. SlikSVN or Wandisco

Ensure the user running Fisheye is a user that can authenticate against the Subversion server, e.g. a user present in the Active Directory that the IWA is using.

  • Be sure the user is using the credentials Active Directory is expecting
  • By default Fisheye running on Windows will install and run as 'Network Service'. In such case switching to a regular account in the service configuration is needed. Open the 'Services' panel in Windows, open properties for the 'Atlassian Fisheye' service, access the 'Log On' tab and change the user:

  • With this configuration the username and password in the Fisheye UI can be left blank
  • This configuration also bypasses the check which limits how often the password is used - see FE-5329 - Getting issue details... STATUS


Caveats

It might be tough to find an native SVN client for several reasons:

  • WANDisco only offer 32 bit binary
  • SlikSVN does not bundle a jar with the dll

To help with this, the following knowledge base article was created:
