Lock request failed: Authorization failed

[Hagen Schendel <ha...@cookfast.net>]

Hi,

 

I am using SVN in a Windows environment. Everything works fine except
locking. Everytime a client tries an "svn lock file" svn says "Authorization
failed".

This is always true, no matter what I have in my conf.

 

Ideas?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hagen

I have got round it by moving to password based authentication with svn: access. I don't know if it is a bug or a feature that lock does not work with svn: anon access - I will leave that to the experts to think about.

Are you using svn: file: or http: to access the repository?

I am seeing the same problem on Linux when using svn: (snvserve).

The repository is set up with
anon-access = write

I can lock files in the repository using file: access but not svn: access.  But I can commit changes via svn: sa well as file: so the basic authentication seems to be working.

To make it more frustrating it was working OK when I last used the repository towards the end of last year - and as far as I can make out nothing has changed in the setup except svnserve has been restarted.
