When using the Subversion actions with usernames/passwords saved in FinalBuilder it should use the --no-auth-cache switch in addition to the --username/password ones.&nbsp; Without that, the SVN command line client writes those values to the authentication cache stored in %AppData%\Subversion\auth\svn.simple.&nbsp; I noticed it because our FinalBuilder scripts use a dedicated “build” account and after testing a script locally my checkins using TortoiseSVN were made by that user instead of my developer account.

Hi Craig   
  
 I believe most of the svn actions actually have an option for that:   
 “Don’t cache authentication information locally (–no-auth-cache)”   
  
 It’s not on by default though.

Hi Vincent,   
  
 Ah, thanks. I expected the checkbox under the username/password fields, and didn’t even notice the "General Options’ tab. It’s all good.
