administrate AuthzSVNAccessFile with many users and repositories

Hello all

I installed in my company subversion, which we want to use in future as a replacement for Source Safe. As far as I can tell for now, everything is set up fine and runs smoothly. I use Subversion with Apache2, mod_authz_svn and SSPI - Authentification, so that all users are authentificated from our domain server. To restrict access to the repositories, I use one AuthzSVNAccessFile for every SVNPath (single repository in one directory) or SVNParentPath (multiple repositories in one directory).

Due to our need to restrict or grant access to the repositories on a very fine level and the quite big ammount of projects and users, the access files will become very complex and hard to maintain. Especially for our Administrator, which is used to work with a graphical interface ;-).

Now to the question:
Does anyone knows a (graphical) tool, that will generate the access files and in which you can easily set up the projects and the rights of the users.

Maybe there is another easy way to maintain these access files. I'm open to any suggestion!

Thanks,

Christoph

Sorry, screenshots are not available. :( I might put something later.

It depends on what exactly you mean here...  If you are talking about
users being authenticated against a LDAP server, then the tool already
does that. :))  It just does not care about how the user is
authenticated.

If you are talking about managing groups and/or acls in the LDAP, then
the answer is no.

My tool is not graphical, but a web based, and I'm using it to manage
about 10 different repositories for more than hundred users.  All my
repositories are using SVNParentPath, and I do not have direct access to
the server at all.  The tool allows to work with ACLs for a particular
repository without bothering about other repositories.  You may check it
at

  http://only.mawhrin.net/~mss/thingies/authz/

It requires python.  And all feedback is more than welcome :)

There is SVNManager (http://svnmanager.sourceforge.net/), though I 
haven't been able to try it yet since I'm a rookie and cannot get PHP5 
to install on my Linux box (I'm going through dependency hell trying to 
get it installed).
