Hi Hari/Ranier,
Thanks a ton for your inputs.
Yes Ranier, the files have read permissions for other users.
Hari,
As you suggested I have tried with the basic authentication, Require
valid-user and then AuthzSVNAccessFile. The httpd.conf has the entry as:
<Location /dummy>
DAV svn
SVNPath /subversion/dummy
SVNReposName "NEO Dummy Repository"
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repository"
AuthzSVNAccessFile /workarea/svn/svn-acl
AuthUserFile /export/home/svn/svn-auth-file
Require valid-user
</Location>
The contents of svn-acl file are as follows:
[dummy:/]
karthikp = wr
dummy = r
admin = wr
[dummy:/core/branches/core_final_bugfix]
karthikp = r
dummy =
admin = wr
It seems to work now. I think I need to remove the pre-commit hook script
which I have written in PERL if this comes in to picture.
But I have a query regarding this. Can I have the list of users in a file
and reference that so that I can only change that file instead of changing
the svn-acl file?
Thanks a lot once again.
Karthik.
