how to add a new user account for an existing SVN-subversion server?


I have an existing SVN server and I need to add more users to connect using subversion clients to do checkout, updates and commits. I read documents (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html#svn.serverconfig.svnserve.auth.users) on how to adding new users to the svn server but I couldn't get a good idea. Please somebody just help me to find out the correct way to add new users and grants privileges.

my problem is I have a SVN server with user "aaa" with administrative privileges. I need to add an another user call "bbb" with same privileges.

Server OS is CentOS 6.3


Solution

  • As Rup explained in the comments. I found /etc/svn-auth-conf and list all existing users. Then added a new user using below

    htpasswd -m /etc/svn-auth-conf <userName>
    

    then new password, and password confirmation are prompted. its worked.
