Hi, I want to set up a subversion server on my network, and already have a table with user accounts in a MySQL table. Can anyone give me some advice / point me in the right direction on how to enable mysql based authentication with Subversion? I would like to make the subversion server work via Apache/http if possible... Thanks
OK, that was a pretty good article and sent my in the right direction for the most part, but i have a small issue. I have the following in /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf <Location /svn> #enable the repository DAV svn #For multiple repositories, set the Parent Path SVNParentPath /var/svn #Authentication AuthType Basic AuthName “Subversion Repository” AuthUserFile /dev/null AuthBasicAuthoritative Off AuthMySQL_Host localhost AuthMySQL_DB SVNAuth AuthMySQL_User root AuthMySQL_Password myjenifer AuthMySQL_Password_Table users AuthMySQL_Username_Field login AuthMySQL_Password_Field pass AuthMySQL_Empty_Passwords off AuthMySQL_Encryption_Types Plaintext AuthMySQL_Authoritative on Require valid-user </Location> As long as a user is in my database table, they are able to access any repository in the /var/svn/ path. I would like to be able to control access to individual repositories. My initial thoughts were to use the group table and field entries for mod_auth_mysql, but it appears that would only work if i create a new <Location > entry for each and every repository i create, and would require the need for a restart of Apache. Ideally a user should only have access to a repository if it has both a valid password and a group of the same name when using two separate tables for user/pass and user/group) I must admit i am pretty new to this, and am finding Apache Authentication to be fairly complex. I am pretty sure i must be missing something here, so if anyone could point me in the right direction i would be extremely grateful!!! Thanks
