Hi Markus,
Thank you for quick response and your suggestions.
Currently right now, our employess can only access SVN through
authentication with our LDAP server.
So authentication wise, we are fine but they upper management want's a
bit more.
Unforunately, the other suggestions you have made have been shot down
and doesn't fully meet upper management's requirements.
We definitely don't wan to do anything client side since that would be a
nightmare to manage afterwards.
Upper management essentially wants this reminder everytime they do a
checkout. Almost like a disclaimer that they have to agree to before
continuing.
Are there any other suggestions from a server side perspective that can
done? Or has anyone done something like this before with SVN?
Thanks!
Bob

Then only allow access for those users once they have signed the privacy policy on a different channel (e. G. on paper, or via a web form, etc... - the web form way can be easily automated...)
