Configuration error when using TortoiseSVN with smart card.

[robotk]

Hi:

I knew that Subversion 1.5.0(Linux Build) supported smartcard certification from this discussion: http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-svn-client---smartcard-certificates-to16641335.html#a16641335;

So i tried the windows svn client TortoiseSVN (1.5.0.12786-RC1-win32-svn-1.5.0-RC4) to see whether it works with smart card; I added
"ssl-pkcs11-provider = c:\windows\system32\aetpkss1.dll"
in TortoiseSVN's configuration file %APPDATA%\servers,
but when i checked out files, TortoiseSVN said:
"Invalid config: unable to load PKCS#11 provider 'c:\windows\system32\aetpkss1.dll';"

But the provider "aetpkss1.dll" worked well with FireFox, SecureCRT and MS Internet Explorer.

The smart card i used is "Giesecke & Devrient StarKey"
(http://www.gi-de.com/portal/page?_pageid=42,124009&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL#124080_anchor);

and the card driver(including PKCS#11 provider) is the "SafeSign Standard" of A.E.T. Eruope B.V company;

Is there a windows svn client support smartcard authentication?


Thanks

Not really, no. The pakchois package which neon requires to get
smartcard support is linux only. Also, GnuTLS doesn't work very reliable
on Windows, that's why we will keep using OpenSSL instead.
