virtual users

[jon azpiazu <jo...@correos.gotdns.com>]

Hi all,

I am regarding the possibility of migrating the working environment of my
Department from CVS to Subversion.
The server runs in a Linux box, and we are very concerned about security, so I
would like to know if subversion can run with virtual users, that is, with
users than do not really exist in the system of the server, but are contained
in a mysql database.
Thanks

Yes, you can do this. If you run the standalone svnserve it will read user
information from a file. If you use the Apache 2 WebDAV module you can use
any authentication supported by Apache (for which MySQL authentication is
also available). The Subversion book
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook/ch06s04.html#svn-ch-6-sect-4.3)
explains it in more detail...
