Re: Restrict Read Access at Branch Level

Hi Hari/Ranier,

Thanks a ton for your inputs.

Yes Ranier, the files have read permissions for other users.

Hari,

As you suggested I have tried with the basic authentication, Require
valid-user and then AuthzSVNAccessFile. The httpd.conf has the entry as:

<Location /dummy>
  DAV svn
  SVNPath /subversion/dummy
  SVNReposName "NEO Dummy Repository"
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Subversion repository"
  AuthzSVNAccessFile /workarea/svn/svn-acl
  AuthUserFile /export/home/svn/svn-auth-file
  Require valid-user
</Location>

 The contents of svn-acl file are as follows:
[dummy:/]
karthikp = wr
dummy = r
admin = wr
[dummy:/core/branches/core_final_bugfix]
karthikp = r
dummy =
admin = wr

It seems to work now. I think I need to remove the pre-commit hook script
which I have written in PERL if this comes in to picture.

But I have a query regarding this. Can I have the list of users in a file
and reference that so that I can only change that file instead of changing
the svn-acl file?

Thanks a lot once again.

Karthik.
