Thank you Daniel. Our server admin found the issue. It was in the authorization file. There were some duplicate entries that this server version does not like.

Green via users <users@subversion.apache.org<mailto:users@subversion.apache.org>>: My SVN server was recently updated, and now when I try to connect to the repository in eclipse, I receive the below error: "Error validating location: "org.apache.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Can't create session svn: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://svnserver/opt/svn/repo/ABC' Invalid authz configuration svn: Invalid authz configuration" I'm not sure how to go about fixing this and any help is greatly appreciated. Hi, Do you know what version you upgraded from and what the new version is? There were some changes between Subversion 1.9 and 1.10, but it should not cause issues with parsing the configurations. Have you looked at the SVN Book, in particular the sections about svnserve's Built-in Authentication and Authorization (https://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html#svn.serverconfig.svnserve.auth<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html*svn.serverconfig.svnserve.auth__;Iw!!NLW3fF9v!NgXg09QiYiWOZZrYaqn-D57b0qWAuseU9EcUwfU8ZYYnDIN4W8Gv0yuEGqWoOCKOKPmNdHnHjuXT8p7kJfhDv1BuzKgLMA$>) and Path-Based Authorization (https://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.pathbasedauthz.html<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.pathbasedauthz.html__;!!NLW3fF9v!NgXg09QiYiWOZZrYaqn-D57b0qWAuseU9EcUwfU8ZYYnDIN4W8Gv0yuEGqWoOCKOKPmNdHnHjuXT8p7kJfhDv1ArU4n48Q$>)? In short, you need access to the Subversion server to check a few files in the repository (path should be /opt/svn/repo/ABC). Check the server configuration file (conf/svnserve.conf) to and verify that the password-db and authz-db files actually exist and are readable. If possible, temporarily remove the requirement for autentication/authorization to pinpoint the exact issue - and if there is an issue in the authz-db file, try to remove part of it to figure out where the error lies. Hope it works out and please report back if you find the issue. Kind regards, Daniel
