I have some svn repository served by apache with mod dav_svn. Permission are so far managed for all repositories via http basic auth. Now i need to grant one user access to a repostory. What would the easiest way to achieve this be?
I tried to add the repository as another location in the config with its own passwd file but that didn't work out.
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /var/svn
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthUserFile [tothefile]
Require valid-user
SSLRequireSSL
</Location>
<Location /svn/subrepo>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /var/svn/subrepo
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthUserFile [toanotherfile]
Require valid-user
SSLRequireSSL
</Location>
Can i somehow easily achieve this without using authz or needing a separate location entry for every repository?
The Right Way (tm) is using Path-Based Access Control anyway, i.e. you'll use single <Location>
, in which have
AuthzSVNAccessFile /path/to/repo/authz
and authz-file added with special section(s) for repository and access-rule for special user
