Here's the entry in my Apache configuration file
<Location /svn/repo1>
DAV svn
SVNPath /var/svn/repositories/repo1
AuthType Basic
AuthName "SVNRepo"
AuthUserFile /var/httpd/passwd
Order deny,allow
Require valid-user
<Limit PUT POST DELETE PROPFIND PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>
Require user svn
</Limit>
Not sure if its obvious what I'm trying to do, but I want to allow ANY authenticated user read-only access to the repository, but LIMIT PUT POST etc to only 1 particular (authenticated) user. Haven't been able to crack this, was hoping somebody had come across this before?
Thanks in advance.
I would do it the other way around:
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /var/svn
# Authentication: Digest
AuthName "Subversion repository"
AuthType Digest
AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth.htdigest
Require valid-user
# Authorization: Authenticated users only for non-read-only
# (write) operations; allow anonymous reads
<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
Require user svn
</LimitExcept>
</Location>
as suggested in for example: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.6/svn-book.html#svn.serverconfig.httpd.authz.blanket
the location you use (/svn/repo1) indicates you have several svn repositories you would like to manage? If so I would use the per directory config of svn: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.6/svn-book.html#svn.serverconfig.httpd.authz.perdir
It prevents apache server reloads if you need to adjust the permsissions.
