Subversion (svn) issues with --non-interactive

So this:

/usr/local/bin/svn up --force --no-auth-cache --username my_user

      

        
        
        
      

    

works fine (after entering password). Although this:

/usr/local/bin/svn up --force --no-auth-cache --non-interactive --username my_name --password my_pass

      

        
        
        
      

    

depending on the version of the svn version:

svn: E215004: Authentication failed and interactive prompting is disabled; see the --force-interactive option
svn: E215004: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://my_repository'
svn: E215004: No more credentials or we tried too many times.
Authentication failed

      

        
        
        
      

    

for Subversion 1.8.8 and:

svn: OPTIONS of 'https://my_repository': authorization failed (https://my_repository)

      

        
        
        
      

    

for Subversion 1.6.11.

This is all on the command line (bash) on the Fedora server.

Also this happens for some users and not others (we have svn users who can work with --non-interactive and others who cannot, although their passwords are accepted when I run without --non-interactive). I tried deleting the ~ / .subversion / auth / directory and it recreates correctly when I do svn up

with credentials.

Quite sick at this moment. Our repository vendor advised us to play with --trust-server-cert

, but I just don't get a response (errors or other messages) when I do this:

/usr/local/bin/svn up --force --no-auth-cache --non-interactive --quiet --username my_name --password my_pass --trust-server-cert ~/.subversion/auth_iii/svn.ssl.server/my_cert

      

        
        
        
      

    

Appreciate your help ...
