Actually, "AuthLDAPRemoteUserIsDN" is not set. Here is the relevant
section from our apache config file:

<Location "/svn">
        DAV svn
        SVNPath /svn_root

        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Subversion Repository"

        AuthzLDAPEngine on
        AuthzLDAPUseLDAP on
        AuthzLDAPServer xxx.xxx.xx.xx
        AuthzLDAPBindDN "CN=LDAPuser,CN=Users,DC=tracetracker,DC=com"
        AuthzLDAPBindPassword "xxxxxxxxx"
        AuthzLDAPUserKey sAMAccountName
        AuthzLDAPUserBase "CN=Users, DC=tracetracker, DC=com"
        AuthzLDAPUserScope subtree
        AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on

        <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
                require valid-user
        </LimitExcept>
</Location>
