Recurring password dialog with CVS

Troubleshooting


Problem

In IBM® Rational Application Developer (RAD), if you enter the login data for a Concurrent Versions System (CVS) repository and select Save password, the Password needed dialog still appears whenever the repository is required.

Symptom

The Save password functionality has no effect and the following output is written to the .log file:
 
!ENTRY org.eclipse.team.cvs.core 4 0 [date & time]
!MESSAGE No password provided.
!STACK 0
org.eclipse.equinox.security.storage.StorageException: 
No password provided.
