I have a master ‘VisualSVN server`. It contains tens of repositories with many revisions.

In order to have a replication, I have configured a Slave Server.

Currently I can create new Slave VDFS repositories and make them in sync with Master Server with no issues and all configuration to allow Slave partner to connect to Master server using a self-signed certificate is done properly.

Since number of repositories is not small, so I tried to use method described in Deploying VDFS slave repositories using replication seeds.

All the process goes well until I tried to import repository to master server and Master server says: Access is denied. As I already mentioned, I can connect to Master server using certificate that I generated but for Importing repository there are not options to tell the VisualSVN Server to authenticate the Slave Server by certificate.
I saw this in the master server event logs:

It said that Active Directory authentication method is used while I should use Certificate for authentication.

I tried to do this using VisualSVN PowerShell Import-SvnRepository Command however it also failed as well and here is the log:

PS E:Repositories> Import-SvnRepository D:TempRepo1Repo1 -DestinationName Repo1 -Verbose
VERBOSE: Running the following operation: CIM method Import on the ROOTVisualSVNPS_SvnRepository CIM object.
Import-SvnRepository : Failed to access the remote VDFS service
The remote procedure call failed: Access is denied.

The help for this command is as below:

The question is how can I enforce Certifcate-Based authentication for Importing the repository from the repository seed?
