Single Sign On with mod_dav, SSPI and SVN Authentication API
Hi,
I have a repository setup with Apache and mod_dav_svn and mod_auth_sspi. I
have the authz fiel setup properly. I am able to work on the repository with
the command line client without me having to enter my username and password.
I am trying to achieve the same with the Subversion API. However, I am
unable to figure out the authentication provider that I should be using. It
works when i use the simple prompt provider and provide my domain username
and password. However, when I use the windows simple provider, it does not
work. Am I using the correct authentication provider. If not which one
should I use. Code sample in any language would work. I am currently using
AnkhSVN's .NET binding with Subversion 1.4 libraries.
I have been breaking my head over this for quite some time. Any pointers
would be really helpful.
Regards,
Vagmi

Finally figured it out. You need both the simple prompt provider and the
username provider. The simple prompt provider, caches it the first time and
then the username provider gets it the next time on. The Windows provider
will be a thoughtful addition as it would cache the password in an encrypted
form.

Hi,
I am somehow not able to get it to work yet. Which authentication provider
should I use? I am using the libneon.lib shipped with the
svn-win32-1.4.2-dev zip file. The Apache access log shows no username as a
part of the PROPFIND command and hence fails.

Vagmi

Thanks a lot. I will give this a spin and let you all know. :-)

Single sign-on auth for http is all handled by neon automatically --
Subversion does not even get a chance to be involved. You need to use
a recent version of neon (0.25.5+) and make sure HAVE_SSPI is defined
in the config.h. It sounds like AnkhSVN may not be built that way or
is using an old neon.
