RE: Commit of locked files fails with authorization on

Hi,

Unfortunately this isn't the problem as the none of the paths in the authz
file have trailing /.

Furthermore we can commit any files without any problems just as long as we
don't have a lock on them at the time of doing the commit. If we release
the lock immediately before performing the commit then it all works fine but
it won't let us commit a file if it is locked at the time.

Regards,
Nicholas

Hi Nicholas,

I had a similar problem in the past with path based authorization (I didn't
try locking first though) and I found that the cause was the way in which I
specified paths in the authz file. When you specify a path make sure you
don't leave a trailing / at the end of the path. Something like
[repos:/source/project/trunk/] will not work. You'll get errors trying to
commit within that path. Instead you would use [repos:/source/project/trunk]

Regards,
Shaun

Hi,

We are running Subversion v1.3.2 on an apache server and are attempting to
set up path based authorization to the repository.

When we switch on the authorization everything seems to work fine until we
attempt to commit a locked file. When we try to do this we get an
"Authorization Failed" error message. If we release the lock first and then

perform the commit then everything works fine. Alternatively switching off
the authorization allows the file to be committed whilst locked.

Can anyone help to get this working?

Regards,
Nicholas
