So I have gone through about a dozen other threads as well as read the http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.8/svn.serverconfig.pathbasedauthz.html I feel like I have tried everything, and either there is anonymous read to the repository url, or I loose read and write access with authenticated users. I must be doing something stupid.
dav_svn.authz file :
[MyRepository:/] $anonymous = name = rw * = r [/] * = r $anonymous = $authenticated = rw name = rw my site file:
<Location /repourl> DAV svn SVNParentPath /var/lib/svn AuthType Basic AuthName "Subversion Repository" AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd <IfModule mod_authz_svn.c> AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.authz </IfModule> <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT> Require valid-user </LimitExcept> </Location> Overall without * = r my authenticated user cannot read or write, but with * = r there is anonymous access, i.e i can navigate to the url and see it. First question, even when * = r comes first, anonnymous users can not access the root '/' to the repository, but can access "MyRepository" even though they have the same settings? Also why would anonymous get access when "$anonymous =" and "Require valid-user". Basically I just need no anonymous access and RW access for the user. I have tried about 100 different combinations of things seeing if any of them would work, I just didn't want to post all the different combinations I have tried. any help is greatly appreciated.
