How to enable berkshelf access to Subversion repository?

Question

I have the following Berksfile in my top level Chef repo directory.

source "https://www.mySVNrepo.com/repos/myproject/trunk"

cookbook 'helloworld',      '= 0.1.0'

and when I do a berks install, I get

[root@chef trunk]# berks install

How do I tell Berkshelf to use a certain user/pw to access my SVN repo? Is it even supported?

Answer 1

Your HTTPS certificate isn't verifiable. You can either tell Berkshelf to not verify certificates via --no-ssl-verify or fix your certificate. The latter is recommended.
