htpasswd without apache

[Ada Battousai <ad...@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

 

I'm trying to make a local repository (protocol svn://, without apache)
works with a password file with htpasswd entries. But my svn does not
recognize the passwords added there. 

How can I configure svn to make it work?

 

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you can use LDAP with svnserve via the SASL support.

That won't work. The htpasswd file is used by apache, not by SVN itself. 
If you want to use just svn:// (not svn+ssh://) I _think_ the only option 
is a plain text file containing usernames and passwords:
