We noticed shortly after upgrading from Hudson v1.349 to v1.381 that we started having Subversion authentication issues on certain projects (see example below). The projects in question had no problems with SVN authentication prior to the upgrade. We tried several suggestions found on the net to remedy the issue, but to no avail. I then intalled the latest Subversion plugin (v1.19) and restarted Hudson. This appeared to solve the problem (i.e., the projects that failed svn authentication began building again with no problem).

However, when one of the other developers attempted to build one of the projects today he got the same "svn: authentication cancelled" issue. So I upgraded to the latest Hudson version (v1.383), but this didn't resolve the issue.

We are at a loss as to why only certain projects fail (that had no authentication problems in the past) for certain developers (who also had no authentication problems in the past). This is a major blocker for us and, judging from other posts about this, apparently, recurring problem, it is obvious we are not the only ones seeing this problem. Please provide a solution to this issue ASAP.
