Window authentication for a Subversion server

I have recently installed a Subversion server on a Windows XP box and would like to use integrated Windows authentication. There is a great article at http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/serverinstall.html which describes how to set up a server and even includes a section about how to set up the SSPI authentication. I followed the directions closely but I am still getting the following error message back from the server when I try to do any subversion commands:

% svn up
svn: Authorization failed
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/repos/project'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/repos/project': authorization failed (http://va01apbuild)
 
I have the following section (as per the aforementioned article) in my httpd.conf file:

<Location /svn/>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath c:\svn
Require valid-user
AuthName "Subversion repositories"
#AuthUserFile passwd
#AuthzSVNAccessFile svnaccessfile
#AuthType Basic

AuthType SSPI
SSPIAuth On
SSPIAuthoritative On
SSPIDomain va01dcdmjz10b
</Location>
 
There are no errors in the Apache error log.

If I uncomment the lines that are commented out and comment out the SSPI lines things work just great:

% svn up
At revision 14

I can live with basic authentication. It would just be nice to not have to bother with yet another passwd file in the Apache directory.

Thanks for listening,
-Timm
