AuthzSVNAccessFile and trailing slashes don't mix

I have SVN 1.4.0 running on Apache httpd on Windows 2003 using LDAP authentication against ActiveDirectory. I have multiple repos and I've been able to individually configure each of the repos to restrict read-write access to specific users, but I can't get more granular access within a repo. I setup my SVN authz file like the book says, but that didn't work very well. After hours of fiddling, I removed the trailing slash from the path in the SVN authz file and everything started working. Is the SVN book wrong??? -Nathan Here's my setup. This is the SVN authz file that doesn't work. User "dddd" can't get access to "prod:/com.xyz/trunk/com.xyz.app/" ------------ [groups] architects = xxxx, yyyy, zzzz devs = aaaaa, bbbb, cccc [test:/] * = rw [prod:/] * = r @architects = rw @devs = rw [prod:/com.xyz/trunk/com.xyz.app/] * = r @architects = rw @devs = rw dddd = rw --------------- This is the SVN authz file that does work. I just remove the trailing slash and "ddd" now has access. --------------- [groups] architects = xxxx, yyyy, zzzz devs = aaaaa, bbbb, cccc [test:/] * = rw [prod:/] * = r @architects = rw @devs = rw [prod:/com.xyz/trunk/com.xyz.app] * = r @architects = rw @devs = rw dddd = rw -------------- For additional reference, here some more setup. Here's my httpd.conf snippet: --------------- <VirtualHost *> <Directory "C:/webserver/scm"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Location /svn> DAV svn SVNParentPath "c:/svn/repos" #Setup Output compression SetOutputFilter DEFLATE #Setup input decompression SetInputFilter DEFLATE <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT> #LDAP authentication via Basic Auth AuthName "WHQ_NT_DOMAIN" AuthType Basic AuthLDAPURL "ldap://xxxx.xxxxxx.xxx:3268/?samAccountName??(& (objectClass=person) (objectClass=user))" AuthLDAPBindDN "CN=XXXXXXX" AuthLDAPBindPassword XXXXXXX Require valid-user </LimitExcept> AuthzSVNAccessFile "c:/svn/svn-access.conf" </Location> </VirtualHost> ------------------ Here's the SVN repo folders: C:/svn/ repos/ svn-access.conf test/ prod/ ----------------------------------------- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This message and any included attachments are from Cerner Corporation and are intended only for the addressee.
