Subversion login with current windows username and password (SSPI)

[ax...@sol.dk]

Hi,

I'm running Subversion on an Apache server with the WebDav module and using
SSPI authentication.

Is it possible to get Subversion to login with the current windows user
(not using the unsecure auth cache)?

Thanks in advance.

Here is the same question posted at TortoiseSVN's mailing list:

We know. That bug got fixed one day after RC1 came out.

That's not something TortoiseSVN can do. It's Subversion's task, or 
better the neon library.

Like Mark said, this would require Neon to support SSPI. I looked at 
this once but didn't get far (not least because I wasn't trying very 
hard). See my reply to a previous question here:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.devel/50075

The Kerberos apparently works quite well already as long as you're using 
active directory (which I'm not). I gathered this from replies to the 
same thread on *this* (i.e. subversion-user). Unfortunately I can't find 
those on Gmane.org so I'll let you find them yourself if you can. AFAIK 
the subject line was the same (the thread started on devel and moved to 
user).

Like Stefan said, Neon doesn't support SSPI (and I'd guess never will). I
think that there's a patch somewhere for some platform that enables Kerberos
for some version of Neon, but I don't think it's for windows, and I don't
really understand the relationship between Kerberos and SSPI.
