Svnserve, Ankhsvn, Authentication

[Amir Kolsky <ko...@yahoo.com>]

Hi all! This is my first time on this list!

I have set up a Subversion repository on a locally
networked machine using svnserve.

I have managed to connect to the repository by enabling
anonymous read/write at the configuration file.

I would like to be able to have the users' name appear in
the svn log, so I tried to add USERNAME = PASSWORD pairs in
the [USERS] section of the configuration file.

We are using Ankhsvn and we can't commit becuase of the
authorization problem and there's no way to enter the user
name and password. I looked at the Ankhsvn configuration
file - no good...

We can't run a apache server on the machine so we have to
use svn://

Help!

I wish there were a basic troubleshooting faq for new users.  I can't
make one as I'm the confused new user.  :)

The svnserve configuration file does not have such a section. What it does
have is an example of what a separate users file should look like. IE, you
put the path to the password file in svnserve.conf, and put the actual user
information in that file.

In svnserve.conf
...
[general]
password-db=password.txt
...


Then in password.txt in the same directory:
[users]
joe=j8976kh98
foo=bar
user=password

You're not the first to be confused by this ;-) Maybe one should look at the
wording in svnserve.conf?

Ankh will only prompt if challenged by the server, as it should.
