SSL Install Question

["White, Joseph" <jw...@sandia.gov>]

Hi All,

I have a RHEL 4 update 3 box that I have Apache 2.0 / openssl / mod_ssl
/ neon / openssh / mod_dav_svn installed.  These were all installed with
RHEL 4 rpm packages. I have the Apache server authenticating using
Kerberos, over SSL / HTTPS, I would like to use that authentication for
the SVN server. I read through the section in the Subversion
documentation on SSL Certificate Management, not sure if I'm on the
right track here to have SVN let Apache / Kerberos do all the
authentication.

I'm assuming I need to install subversion with SSL support, do any of
the "RPM" subversion binaries support SSL?

If not and I need to compile subversion myself, the RHEL 4 version of
Apache is not in the default location of /usr/local/apache2, RHEL 4
places things in various locations, /usr/lib/httpd/modules/
/usr/sbin/httpd and /etc/httpd, how will this effect the install of
Subversion? What else may I need to put on the configure line?

./configure --with-ssl 

Thanks,


Joe

I'm still using RHEL3 u3 - with many custom built packages ;-)

Anyway, if your are using mod_dav_svn to access your subversion repos, 
it sounds like you are already there. Apache is responsible for 
authentication in that scenario, which it sounds like you have that 
working already. Just make sure that your location can be accessed 
via https and away you go - maybe you want to force https only as 
well, but that is up to you.
