I've had some success using the GSSAPI support in SASL with
Tortoise. It's got some nice perks compared to Negotiate auth...
like not needing all the hassle of setting up certificates for SSL
and the pesky performance problems with mod_dav_svn. And, best of
all, since SASL dynamically loads auth modules, you just need to
build it and drop it (along with the MIT libraries) into a
TortoiseSVN bin/ directory and everything just works.
Stefan, any thoughts about including the GSSAPI module in the SASL
you build with Tortoise? I found that, if the MIT libraries aren't
present, SASL quietly eats the load error and disables GSSAPI.
Worst case, the SVN library reports that it can't negotiate
authentication with the server... it's pretty slick. Or, you
could probably bundle MIT Kerberos for Windows in Tortoise. As I
read the license on their source code, you can do pretty much
whatever you want with MIT Kerberos, except possible export it
and use MITs name to advertise.
