Commit of locked files fails with authorization on

["WICKENS, Nicholas, GBM" <Ni...@rbos.com>]

Hi,
 
We are running Subversion v1.3.2 on an apache server and are attempting to
set up path based authorization to the repository.
 
When we switch on the authorization everything seems to work fine until we
attempt to commit a locked file.  When we try to do this we get an
"Authorization Failed" error message.  If we release the lock first and then
perform the commit then everything works fine.  Alternatively switching off
the authorization allows the file to be committed whilst locked.  
 
Can anyone help to get this working?
 
Regards,
Nicholas

Hi Nicholas,

I had a similar problem in the past with path based authorization (I didn't
try locking first though) and I found that the cause was the way in which I
specified paths in the authz file. When you specify a path make sure you
don't leave a trailing / at the end of the path. Something like
[repos:/source/project/trunk/] will not work. You'll get errors trying to
commit within that path. Instead you would use [repos:/source/project/trunk]

Regards,
Shaun
