This looks really interesting. Unfortunately, I can't use it. Most of my repositories are accessed via svn+ssh. However, when I enter this, oXygen insists that I enter auth credentials. This is silly. I use other things for ssh auth. How quickly can you correct this defect, and make auth optional in the setup?
Dear Timothy, Please give us more information about your problem. For example, what methods do you use for ssh authentication and are there other SVN clients that you use successfully? Regards, Radu Timothy Reaves wrote:

Well I'm not exactly sure how that's relevant, but O.K. On My Mac I use SSH Agent for key management, and on Linux I just use ssh-agent. For client, I use: the command line, Eclipse, svnX, TextMate, Komodo, Visual SlickEdit, SmartCVN, and SubVersion. All of these work fine this way. After all, this is standard ssl/ssh model. Nothing new here. All of them - when ssh is used - use existing ssh-agent, as is normal. The problem is that the oXygen client demands I enter a username/ password or key/passphrase. Even when I enter the key and passphrase, it just doens't work. It just keeps prompting me for a passphrase.

Oxygen, just like SmartSVN, is a 100% Java based application so for SVN over SSH we use the Ganymed SSH-2 for Java library (http://www.ganymed.ethz.ch/ssh2/). This library does not have native native components that communicate with ssh-agent so the only way to authenticate is to enter the right authentication information in the Authentication dialog.

You can either authenticate with a User/Password pair or by filling in the User\Private key\Passphrase fields (all fields: Usename, Private Key and Passphrase are required). I tested both authentication methods on Mac and Linux and they were both successful. If you fail the authentication, then probably the data you entered is not correct (maybe you forgot to specify the username or entered the path to the public key instead of the path to the private one). Please tell us how this goes.

The username was the issue. It now works. Thanks.
