Novell Designer for Identity Manager 3.0.1
Situation
Over the lifetime of a user's account the password, at some point
in time, will change. These changes need to be made in the
clients accessing services as well. Novell Identity Manager
(IDM) Designer can use Subversion for change control and these
credentials are stored outside the main Designer application along with any other Subversion credentials for the user.
As a result while changing authentication information to the
eDirectory tree for deploying projects is done from within Designer
the actual Subversion credentials must be changed another
way.
Resolution
Subversion credentials are stored for the user on the system for
use by any application including Designer or another client..
The default locations for these credentials include:
UNIX/Linux: ~/.subversion/auth/svn.simple/
windows: %APPDATA%/subversion/auth/svn.simple/
To change the credentials either modify the files in these directories or delete them and enter the credentials again when prompted in Designer. An example of the contents of one of these files follows:
K 8
passtype
V 6
simple
K 8
password
V 11
pa$$w0rdG0esHere
K 15
svn:realmstring
V 45
<https://svn.location.yourcompanyhere.tld:443> CompanyForge
K 8
username
V 13
userNameGoesHere
