Tortoise SVN SSL error on checkout in Windows 8

I want to do a simple SVN checkout in TortoiseSVN of a secured repository in Windows 8. In the browser I AM ABLE to view the repository (by first adding an .afx certificate). However when i do a checkout with TortoiseSVN it freezes. When i use the RapidSVN client it gives the message:

Error: Error while performing action: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://...' OPTIONS of 'https://...': SSL handshake failed, client certificate was requested: SSL error: sslv3 alert handshake failure

To solve the problem I have tried:

  • Putting the .afx file in \AppData\Roaming\Subversion\auth\svn.ssl.server
  • Setting TortoisePlink.exe as ssh tool
  • Turning off my firewall and anti-virus

Still TortoiseSVN can't seem to find the right client certificate. So my question is this: How can i make sure TortoiseSVN is able to find my client certificate (in .afx format?)

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried by changing your subversion configuration file?

[subversion.example.com] ssl-client-cert-file = /path/to/my/cert.afx ssl-client-cert-password = somepassword

The configuration file is usually located at: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Subversion\config
