svn: E200015: Authentication cancelled [Jenkins]

Question

We have connected a Jenkins CI server running in a Docker container with a repository hosted in Visual SVN server. Jenkins is able to contact VisualSVN Server and checkout the code in first attempt, but it is unable to checkout the repo in Visual SVN server in subsequent attempts. It is giving svn: E200015: Authentication cancelled error.

And moreover, credentials are not getting stored in hudson.scm.SubversionSCM.xml file.

<?xml version='1.1' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<hudson.scm.SubversionSCM_-DescriptorImpl plugin="subversion@2.12.1">
  <generation>11</generation>
  <mayHaveLegacyPerJobCredentials>false</mayHaveLegacyPerJobCredentials>
  <workspaceFormat>8</workspaceFormat>
  <validateRemoteUpToVar>false</validateRemoteUpToVar>
  <storeAuthToDisk>false</storeAuthToDisk>
</hudson.scm.SubversionSCM_-DescriptorImpl>

Should we manually add credentials in this xml file?

The SVN plugin version is 2.12.1 (latest version). The authentication method to Visual SVN server is via Windows PC username and password.

Please ping me if you need any other info for resolving this error.
