SVNAuthentication: The SVNAuthentication is the base class that represents user credentials.
SVNPasswordAuthentication: The SVNPasswordAuthentication class represents a simple user credential pair - a username and password.
SVNSSHAuthentication: The SVNSSHAuthentication class represents a kind of credentials used to authenticate a user over an SSH tunnel.

SVNUserNameAuthentication: The SVNUserNameAuthentication class represents a simple authentication credential class that uses only a username to authenticate a user.

## Package org.tmatesoft.svn.core.auth Description

This package contains interfaces/classes used by the library to authenticate a user to a repository server.

When a server pulls a client for credentials, SVNRepository driver invokes an authentication manager (ISVNAuthenticationManager) to ask for credentials. Also an authentication manager provides and handles a lot of other repository acces-related options (proxy options, secure SSL contexts, etc.)

SVNKit gives a developer an ability either to implement his own authentication manager and provide it to SVNRepository drivers, or use a default implementation which functionality is more or less similar to the SVN command line client.
