Not only have I restarted the service but also uninstalled Apache and reinstalled the latest Apache, so I am sure it's
reflecting the config.

I haven't read the source to check the handshake sequence, but I don't think "SSPIBasicPreferred on" or "SSPIOfferSSPI
off" would do what I want if TortoiseSVN is not sending out the basic auth.

INSTALL of mod_auth_sspi says:

Since TortoiseSVN 1.4.x sends out SSPI, UserID is known to the module, thus SSPI is used.

Since TortoiseSVN hasn't asked me for the User Name/Password, it's not sending basic auth, so having higher priority
wouldn't matter.

I will try the nightly build, but if you could expose the http-auth-types as three checkboxes for basic, digest, and
negotiate in the Settings dialog that might make the configuration easier for less geeky crowd.
Another workaround may be to let the user type in User Name/Password in the Settings dialog that gets sent out using
Basic auth.

Thanks,
Yu
