I dig in to my .subversion folder; it's in your home directory.
1.
This is my ~/.subversion/servers file; the configuration that different than the default one is this line.
...
store-plaintext-passwords = yes
...
2.
I found a file 550564593bc22e0166f1d522f51755cc under ~/.subversion/auth/svn.simple/
I look into its content
$cat ~/.subversion/auth/svn.simple/550564593bc22e0166f1d522f51755cc
K 15
svn:realmstring
V 103
<http://filexchange.{cannot exposed}.com:80> {cannot exposed} System 2.0 Repository Login
K 8
username
V 6
dahoba
END
There's password missing?, I thought. So, I try remove the file 550564593bc22e0166f1d522f51755cc and then try to checkout by command line again
$svn --username dahoba co http://filexchange.cannot-exposed.com/svn/2.0/main/program/trunk/app.web .
It will ask for password again, input the correct password and I choose to kept plain password. If we check the content of a file again, the file 550564593bc22e0166f1d522f51755cc was re-generated.
$cat ~/.subversion/auth/svn.simple/550564593bc22e0166f1d522f51755cc

Now, back to Jenkins web console, navigate to jobs configuration, the problem should now gone.
PS: username, servername, repository name was changed, I cannot expose those information to public.
