Re: AuthzSVNAccessFile without AuthUserFile?

D'oh

mod_auth_kerb asks for password for user nickthompson (in my example),
but authenticates the user nickthompson@EXAMPLE.COM. So this works...

--------------------------------------------------------
# doesn't works with true basic, but does work with kerberos
[groups]
all = nickthompson@EXAMPLE.COM

[/]
@all = rw
--------------------------------------------------------

Well, hey, maybe somebody who want's to also set up windows DC
authentication will find something useful here :-)

Nick.
