As I saw from this page from TortoiseSVN document:
http://tortoisesvn.sourceforge.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/ch03.html#tsvn-serversetup-apache-5

It seems mod_auth_sspi is no longer actively maintained. And more
importantly, there is only a built binary for Windows based Apache.

Do you know where to get a Linux version of mod_auth_sspi (seems
difficult to find)? Thanks!

I am using Apache v2.0.55 + Subversion 1.30 on Debian Linux.
