ACLs via external hooks

[Rajko Albrecht <ra...@alwins-world.de>]

Hi,

inside a larger project with quite dynamics access rights (yes, true)  
I would like to check the access rights (and logins?) against external  
sources.

Eg., just like a "pre-commit" - hook but for reading, too. Or may I  
insert something into the configuration which will do that?

And yes - the documented dir-based ACLs will not work 'cause its too  
much. External source means, I may ask a server has_rights(user,path)  
and will return yes/no or exit 0/exit 1 or similar. For pre-commit it  
would work.

Is this possible?

CU

No, unfortunately.  Subversion doesn't have any read hooks, only write
hooks.  However, you may be interested in 

   http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/sasl.txt

That won't help you get dynamism in path authorization, but at least
you can get some authentication flexibility.

Best,
