When I'm forced to change my Windows AD account password IntelliJ is no longer able to perform any CVS action (e.g. update) on any checked out class files.
Right-click on class file->CVS->Update Then the Messages console appears with "Error: Authentication failed. Response from server was: PAM authenticate error: Authentication failure"
I manage to workaround this by clearing the .cvspass file referenced under Settings->Version Control->CVS. It doesn't feel like a very elegant solution. I would have expected a prompt of some sort to re-enter my new password.
Is this the only way to getting cvs to work after updating the password?
I did find a compromise (somewhat). No need to delete the entire .cvspass file. I just open it and remove the line that has the repo that's giving me problems at the time.
