Re: AuthLDAP + AuthzSVNAccessFile

hallo

indeed. but once you see both apache and subversion as two seperate
modules it may become clearer:

if AuthSth + Require valid-user fails, apache will send you a
unauthorized response. subversion specific settings do not come into
play at all. so case one seems ok.

if require user somone fails i dont get the point of anonymous access too.

i remember there was a section on anonymous access in the subversion
manual. since apache can use mutliple auth methods (ldap, basic, pam)
and ldap auth is not authoritative (something like that) apache may
continues to try to authenticate

but the book should give an example somewhere?

and yes: apache auth sometimes gives some riddles from time to time :)
