Jenkins svn collabnet build failure

Question

I am getting the below build error :

[ERROR] The svn blame command [svn blame --xml --non-interactive -x -w xxxxx.java] failed: svn: E230001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'xxx-xxxx.java'
svn: E230001: Server SSL certificate verification failed: certificate issued for a different hostname, issuer is not trusted

I am using Subversion Edge by Collabnet with jenkins to run the build. Could you please help me out?

Answer 1

Here is the wording of the error message:

svn: E230001: Server SSL certificate verification failed: certificate issued for a different hostname, issuer is not trusted

The error you are getting "Server SSL certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted" means that there is a problem with the certificate installed on SVN Edge server. The client does not trust the certificate and displays the error. Therefore, you should look into the certificate-related problems on CollabNet Subversion Edge server.

The only possible way to ignore the error is to use --trust-server-cert command line option. You also have to add --non-interactive option because your CI machine runs the Subversion client non-interactively.

If you use Subversion 1.9 client, you can also use --trust-server-cert-failures option which is intended to ignore a wider range of invalid certificates than --trust-server-cert that can only ignore certificates issued by unknown or not trusted certificate authority.
