Re: AuthLDAP + AuthzSVNAccessFile

Actually I still have a question.

If the apache authentication faild with "AuthSth + Require valid-user"
I'm not allowed to see the content of the repository.
but if it's "AuthSth + Require user someone", there is an anonymous
access and I can read the content of the repository even if I'm not
"someone".

That seems a strange logic for me...
