Re: Re: Read Only Repository Ignored

> Andy, thanks for the reply; but I don't believe that it is a server problem as when the same user uses a different machine they are stopped.  The other thing that makes me believe that it is a client problem is that no matter what user we connect to SVN from the problem machines the same thing happens.

a) The machines are special. You allow unauthenticated access from
those specific machines?

E.g. if you have "Satisfy Any" in Apache HTTPD config.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_access_compat.html#satisfy

You should be able to see in server logs and in svn:author property in
their commits whether the user was authenticated or not.

b) The users are special? Their passwords provide some special privileges?

Note that svn clients cache user's password, unless the user opts out.

The passwords can be cleared through the Settings dialog of
TortoiseSVN, or by deleting certain subdirectory in Subversion
configuration area (that is what the Setting dialog does for you), or
you change their password on the server side.

c) They accessing the repository through some other channel, not the
one that you have secured. E.g. through a different URL.

Look at their working copies. Look at the server logs.

d) Your implementation of "nobody can commit" feature is broken. You
have not explained what exactly it is.

All of the above besides b) have no relevance to TortoiseSVN.

Best regards,
Konstantin Kolinko
