Authentication problems

[Tim Armes <ta...@fr.imaje.com>]

Hi,

We've had subversion set up and working for a while now, using TortoiseSVN
as the client.

The other day I tried setting up a Webfolder to access the repository, and
that worked perfectly.  Happy with this discovery I tried demonstrating it
on a colleague's machine, buf for some reason he wasn't able to connect.
And neither could my other colleagues.

I tried viewing the repository directly using Internet Explorer, and that
returned "Access Unauthorised".  Yet, there's never a demand for the
password.

When I try the same thing on my account it works as expected.  When my
colleague uses Tortoise, it works.  Why can't he access it using IE?  My
Apache set up looks like this:

<Location /svn/proj>
DAV svn
SVNPath D:\svn\proj
AuthType SSPI
SSPIAuth On
SSPIAuthoritative On
SSPIDomain MYDOMAIN
SSPIOfferBasic On
AuthzSVNAccessFile D:\svn\accessfile.txt
Require valid-user
</Location>

My access file is:

[groups]
developers = MYDOMAIN\dev1,MYDOMAIN\dev=2,MYDOMAIN\dev3
[/]
* = 
@developers = rw

These look right to me, and indeed with tortoise and the svn command line
there are no problems.

Any ideas?

Tim

In my experience, Microsoft DAV clients are extremely weird and
inconsistent from one machine to another.  Look in appendix D in the
book... there have been observations about belonging/not belonging to a
domain will make webfolders prompt for auth when it shouldn't.  And
other times, I've seen WinXP *not* prompt for auth when it should,
exactly as you describe.  It's somewhat of a mystery:  there seem to be
a number of differing DAV implementations from one MS OS to another with
different quirks.
