I was doing some general maintenance on my laptop over the last day, primarily updating the operating system to OS X 10.7, Lion.

Upon the install, I opened up Coda to do some development work and I kept on getting “invalid server certificate” errors when trying to connect to my svn repositories. After a quick search, I found a quick method to fix this problem. I guess we will see how long that lasts.

The resolution is a quick terminal command that provides a method to accept the certificate and continue development.

svn list https://www.example.com/svn/

Replace the url above the with url to your repository and you will be ready to go. Restart Coda before trying to reestablish your connections.
