authentication dialog

[rick bolkey <ti...@bolkey.org>]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out an authentication issue with subversion.  I'm
working in a windows environment, so I'm trying to use the mod_auth_sspi
module.  The authentication is working when I'm using a browser (IE
self-authenticates I guess, and Mozilla opens a user/pass dialog).  But
neither the command line client nor TortoiseSVN prompt me for credentials,
and as a result fails to access the repository.  Apache's access log shows
this:

127.0.0.1 - - [31/Oct/2003:09:36:58 -0500] "PROPFIND /svn/repository
HTTP/1.1" 401 516

when trying to use the command line client.  There's no user specified,
and therefore not authorization.  The access log response doesn't even
change if I specify the username in the command line.

Apache's basic authentication worked fine, and I'm using the
mod_auth_sspi.so module linked from the TortoiseSVN documentation (don't
know if it would have been better to ask there, but since the command line
wasn't working and the browser was, thought it may be an issue more
closely related to svn).

Many thanks for any insights,
rick

Yep, Subversion uses neon, and neon needs basic authentication to
work.

There's a special directive for the sspi module that causes it to issue
"HTTP Basic Auth" challenges, which is the sort of challenge that neon
(svn's http client library) knows how to respond to.  Somebody got it
working just last week.
