saslpasswd2 on subversion 1.7.2

Hi,

I update my own svn server from 1.6.11 to 1.7.2.
I use sasl encryption for authentification.
saslpasswd2 works perfect on 1.6 version but seems not work in 1.7.2.
Password database file (sasldb in my case) seems to be not created.
Are you tested this kind of configuration ?
Do you know if something changed in authentification process ?

Thanks for all.

Olivier

Thanks for your quick answer !!

Subversion runs under a Windows Server 2008 x64.
I use subversion only to save my personal works. I think I reinstall the
previous version or use basic authentification.

Thanks for all

Olivier

There have been no significant changes in Subversion's SASL support
code between 1.6 and 1.7. However, we keep getting some reports about
problems with SASL after upgrading to 1.7.

In all cases so far, the problem seemed to be in the cyrus-sasl package
rather than in Subversion. It is possible that a problem in cyrus-sasl
is coinciding with the upgrade to Subversion 1.7, making it look as
if Subversion 1.7 SASL support had a regression. But it is just as likely
that a recent cyrus-sasl upgrade introduced a problem.

For instance, see this post, and the replies, from just a few days ago:
http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2011-12/0150.shtml

On OpenBSD, a Subversion SASL problem was identified as a problem with
the SASL package: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=131805779110751&w=2
I don't know if other systems, such as Linux, have had similar issues.

You have not told us which operating system you are running.
