Authentication options (AD and password file)
Hello, I have subversion authenticating to Active Directory, but it
seems that I may need to also authenticate non-AD users to the same
repositories. I've tried to add extra line to the conf file, using a
regular static password file through apache, but it does not seem to
want to work.
Has anyone accomplished this, or have any advice on how to proceed?
What I am looking for is for subversion to query AD, and when no user
is found consult a local password file (htaccess or similar).
Thanks!

Apache does the authentication, not Subversion. You need to find the
right "Apache" way to handle this. Of the top of my head, I would think
you would use two location directives, once for each authentiation method,
and the user would have to use a different URL based on the authentication
method.
