I need simple 'to-the-point' tutorial or neat exemple of How to implement authorization for paths (checkout diretories) out of a single Subversion repository, using WebSVN.
Lets say repository is /svn/repos/r_project Two checkout (paths) from this repos are /svn/repos/path1 and /svn/repos/path2 ... I want to protect each path (directory) with a different username/password.
Subversion and WebSVN are installed on Unix Apache (redhat). Already i can see the two paths in the WebSVN repository front page - without any protection this is working fine.
I know how to protect individual web index page with .htpasswd but anything i have tried to protect individual paths in the repository through WebSVN page has failed.
Tx
[EDIT nov26]
Up to date situation to make it clear: Paths i have:
Home path in unix: '/var/www/'
Path of WebSVN: '/var/www/websvn2'
Path to repository: '/svn/repos'
Created repository is '/svn/repos/r_project') // so r_project is the repository name
Two checkout directories of that repository:'/svn/repos/path1' and '/svn/repos/path2'
In httpd.conf i have locations for SVN and WEBSVN (i do have the necessary modules):
<Location /repos>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /var/www/svn/repos
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repository"
AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-file
Require valid-user
</Location>
<Location /websvn210/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
Require valid-user
AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-file
</Location>
For now, 'svn-auth-file' contains password for one user name. Put in '/etc' directory.
In config.php file of WebSVN i have:
$config->parentPath("/var/www/svn/repos");
$config->useAuthenticationFile('/etc/svn-auth-file'); // Global access file
I'm able to see checkout directories 'path1' and 'path2' as regular index page with files in the browser (ex: 'http://mydomain/svn/repos/path1'). However, when i go for 'http://mydomain/websvn210' in the browser i only get the login (ok) than an empty home page of WebSVN - that is, no repository or checkout paths!
That's first problem: empty page. Second, will be to have different login for each path. Note: those paths (checkouts) are only for reading or downloading (no commit done from Subversion).
THanks.
