RE: [TSVN] Authentication With Samba

Oopps, I didn't realise that I posted to this mailing list - sorry :-s.
 
But meaning as we are on a road path to a possible solution I might as well resume.
 
OK, SAMBA is already setup downstairs in my company and staff users are logging through SAMBA, which, as you say allows Linux boxes to talk to Windows boxes on a network.
 
Also, my development team already have Subversion and TortiseSVN setup in our office, and we use Windows Domain Authentication, so we have aalready used mod_dav_svn and SSPI for the authentication through Apache.
 
All users in my company are on Windows, it just that we house some Linux servers in the server room, which is where SAMBA comes into it I presume - I ain't an admin guy :).
 
I've come across PAM which can be used by APache to authenticate against. You here of this?
 
Thanks
 
Tryst

        The post is slightly off topic, it's more of a subversion question that
        a TSVN question, however I do have a similar set up to yourself.
        
        I have a linux box in charge of version control on a windows network
        controlled by windows 2003 server.
        
        Firstly make sure that your domain users can login to the box, (windows
        or linux), once this is done, setup the mod_dav_svn, Chapter 6 of the
        svn guide is a good reference
        (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch06.html) it shouldn't take too
        long to set up and get going. Without knowing whether you are on windows
        or linux or what's going on it's quite hard to help much more. Hopefully
        this will point you in the right direction. There's quite a few guide on
        the web to help on the way :)
        
        If you need any more help then we'll need a bit more info on your setup,
        though it is more of a subversion mailing list question than a TSVN
        question.
        
        Hope that helps
        
        Daniel
