Windows svn/tortoise clients with an Apache 2.0.54/AuthenNTLM/svn 1.2.1/Linux server
Hi all,
I tried to authenticate two different subversion clients via an apache ntlm
mechanism since we will be using quite a large number of users.
The Apache::AuthenNTLM authentication works fine except when people try to
do a commit. Whenever somebody tries to do that the svn (tortoise) client
comes up with a login screen. Whatever you fill in it will keep on popping
up and you simply can't commit. On the linux server you see the following in
apaches error_log:
[error] SMB Server connection not open in state 3 for
/!svn/act/0c1afd43-b19c-b146-9762-2deb08712d53
If I use the standard svn:\\ instead of http:// everything is fine,
including a commit action (but unfortunately svnserve does not know how to
handle NTLM authentication and that would mean a lot of extra user
management).
Has somebody got an idea?
Stan

The site is unfortunately using an active directory environment (leave the
l out of ldap :)
They are using Apache2-AuthenNTLM-0.02
I tried a couple of other, much older non perl ntlm modules, but they do
work in a webbrowser session itself (without import/export possibilities of
course), but they don't work at all with the cvs client.
With best regards,
S.M.Madge

I have two ideas...
1) - What version of the mod_ntlm module are you running? There was a bug
in it at one time that was fixed (see
http://search.cpan.org/src/SPEEVES/Apache2-AuthenNTLM-0.01/Changes under
changes for 2.09)
2) - If you really have that many users, have you considered using LDAP
instead? I'm no genius, but my perception is that the LDAP is a bit more
robust and mature and may handle the user functionality better.

Frank
