When adding Prana to our Cruise Control system via the web dashboard, I ran into the following svn error:
svn: PROPFIND request failed on ‘/svnroot/prana/trunk’svn: PROPFIND of ‘/svnroot/prana/trunk’: Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted (https://prana.svn.sourceforge.net)
The problem is that a checkout over https requests the verification of a server certificate which is not handled in the web dashboard interface.
The solution
Make sure you have a user where the cruise control service is running under. Then log in to the build server with that user and manually checkout the repository with the following command…
svn checkout https://prana.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/prana/trunk c:/progra~1/cruisecontrol/projects/prana
… then press ‘p’ to accept the certificate permanently. You can now go back to the web dashboard and create the project.

I can’t log into my box as “NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM” to permanently accept the certificate
Any ideas what to do?
