Setting up Authentication in subversion

[ken carlino <ke...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to setup Authentication in subversion.
My questions is : can i use the same password file as Trac which setup
like this:
Adding Authentication ¶

The simplest way to enable authentication with Apache is to create a
password file. Use the htpasswd program to create the password file:

$ htpasswd -c /somewhere/trac.htpasswd admin
New password: <type password>
Re-type new password: <type password again>
Adding password for user admin

This password file is encrpyted, instead of being a text file in
subversion example.

Thank you.

If you serve your repository with svnserve, you must use a plain text  
file for the usernames / passwords as described in the documentation.  
A file created by htpasswd will not work.

However, if you serve your repository with apache, you can use any  
authentication method supported by apache, and apache certainly  
supports htpasswd files.
