Check for modification failure in content Integration using VisualSVN Server and Cruisecontrol.net

I am using CruiseControl.net for continous integration. I've created a repository for my project using VisualSvn server (uses Windows Authentication). Both the servers are hosted in the same system (Os-Microsoft Windows Server 2003 sp2).

When i force build the project using CruiseControl.net "Failed task(s): Svn: CheckForModifications" is shown as the message. When i checked the build report, it says as follows:

BUILD EXCEPTION 
Error Message: ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Core.CruiseControlException: Source control operation failed: svn: OPTIONS of 'https://system:8443/svn/folder/Source': **Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted** (https://system:8443). Process command: C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin\svn.exe log **sameUrlAbove** -r "{2010-04-29T08:35:26Z}:{2010-04-29T09:04:02Z开发者_C百科}" --verbose --xml --username ccnetadmin --password cruise --non-interactive --no-auth-cache

at ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Core.IntegrationRunner.GetModifications(IIntegrationResult from, IIntegrationResult to)
at ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Core.IntegrationRunner.Integrate(IntegrationRequest request) 

My SourceControl node in the ccnet.config is as shown below:

<sourcecontrol type="svn">
  <executable>C:\Program Files\VisualSVN Server\bin\svn.exe</executable>
  <trunkUrl>
    check out url
  </trunkUrl>
  <workingDirectory>

  </workingDirectory>
  <username>
   ccnetadmin
  </username>
  <password>
     cruise
  </password>
</sourcecontrol>

Can any one suggest how to avoid this error?

The subversion error message says

svn: OPTIONS of 'https://sp-ci.sbsnetwork.local:8443/svn/IntranetPortal/Source': Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted (https://sp-ci.sbsnetwork.local:8443).

This tells me that your 'svn' doesn't trust the https certificate of your server.

You can fix this by performing something like

svn info https://sp-ci.sbsnetwork.local:8443/svn/IntranetPortal/Source

as the user running cruisecontrol and then accept the certificate.

(Another option would be to make CruiseControl pass --trust-server-cert to svn, but I don't know which configuration option you need for that)

Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted

Either connect via HTTP or add the CA certificate to the build machine.

Take a look here for a similar (but slightly different) problem that I had a little while ago.

Basically you cannot run the service as the normal 'SYSTEM' account, you need to specify and configure a local user, with the appropriate permissions and configure the service to run as that user.

Then log into the server as the user and run any svn command at the command line;
Bert suggests:

svn info https://sp-ci.sbsnetwork.local:8443/svn/IntranetPortal/Source

you should be prompted for the SVN username and password which are then cached in the appropriate location. You should also be prompted to accept the certificate - which you should do.

Now the service should run without any problems.

I was trying to do the continuous integration in a windows server domain. The domain controller server should issue a certificate for the svn server(installed in one of the domain). Then import the issued certificate to svn server.

The process include two steps:

1) creating a request to issue a certificate from domain controller.

           For that follow the steps:
                 i) open visual svn server
                 ii) "right click" **visualSVN Server(Local)** and "select" 
                      **properties**
                 iii) "select" **change certificate** in **cetificates**
                 iv) "check" the **prepare certificate request** and "provide" the 
                      domain controller as server and do as asked.
                  v) "save" the request as **.req extension** and **finish** the 
                     process

2) Submitting the .req file to the domain controller to get the certificate

           For that follow the steps:
                  i) run **cmd**
                  ii) run **certreq -submit -attrib "CertificateTemplate: WebServer" 
                        .req file with its path** 
                  iii) save the certificate with **.cer** extension.
                  iv) do **i,ii,iii** of the **step 1**  
                   v)  "check" the **Import Signed Certificate** and "browse" the 
                      **.cer file** and install it.

CruiseControl service runs by default under local service account, so make sure the certificates are accepted via local service account or change "Log on as" service user to user which accepted the certs.

I fixed the same issue here in my question at Pass arguments to svn when using CruiseControl.net

You basically need to alter your sourcecontrol block in ccnet.config and use a batch file which passes the --trust-server-cert option to svn
