RE: Apache or svnserve?

I'm not getting really further.

I configured mod_auth_svn.conf (see below).
What else needs to be done? I don't get the relations between the
configuration files.
Where can I say, that user xy is allowed to checkout /repos for example?

First, you'll need to get Apache configured to authenticate users
against your AD. The exact mechanism to do this will depend on your AD
layout, but you will need to specify

AuthzSVNAccessFile /file/wherever/access-file
Require valid-user

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repository"

AuthLDAPUrl ldap:://
AuthLDAPBindDN CN=...
AuthLDAPBindPassword changeme

in your relevant <Location> of your httpd.conf file. The AuthLDAP*
directives are detailed in the above Apache docs. The
AuthzSVNAccessFile directive should point to a configuration file as
documented at
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch06s04.html#svn-ch-6-sect-4.4.2

HTH,
