Is it possible to disable the secure storage feature under Linux ? I've tried to delete the folder under ~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.equinox.security as well as the content under window > preferences > general > security > secure storage > content tab.

However each time i try to use the subversive svn connector, a window untitled user credentials pop up asking me to provide authentication information.

Environment :

  • Eclipse 4.5.1
  • Ubuntu 14.04

  • The second answers might to solve your problem. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4223059/eclipse-secure-storage – Calon Jan 08 '16 at 09:55
  • Thanks Calon, i had a look at that thread already but it seems that the solution is a work around when you want to use the feature. However I dont' want to use that feature at all, i dont want to set a master password. – anchnk Jan 08 '16 at 10:00
  • I meant the second answer. Windows->preferences->then type "secure storage", In the Contents tab, select [Default Secure Storage], Click Delete, Let Eclipse restart. – Calon Jan 08 '16 at 10:03
  • Yes I did try this, look at my post – anchnk Jan 08 '16 at 10:03
  • Oh, sry... well, it is the proposed way. Are you sure that you haven't saved a password for the svn connector? According to this bug, you can only save passwords in teh secure storage thingy in Eclipse: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=328682 – Calon Jan 08 '16 at 10:09
  • Ah yes I did try to save my password however i didn't understood that Eclipse would store it in the secure storage thingy. I thought it was another feature. – anchnk Jan 08 '16 at 10:36
  • Ok so i did investigated further and it seems that my password isn't saved each time i restart eclipse, it can recall my username but the password is empty – anchnk Jan 08 '16 at 12:33

Ok this problem (subversion plugin not saving the password with svnkit connector) does have a workaround described here : https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=464178

But yeah it seems that you have to use a master password if you want to avoid entering password each time you do a svn operation
