The last time I needed to set this up I was working for a 80,000 person
company. The corporate infrastructure was Windows ... period. I was able
to get a couple of things done "out of band", like putting a Linux SVN
server on the network, but effecting any change to the Windows network
required an act of God (or whatever supernatural being tickles your
fancy).
In a prior post Rainer noted the user stored in the conf file should be
a special account with permissions only to bind to the LDAP server
(since a passwd needs to be stored). Try justifying getting that account
created with the IT department of an 80,000 person company!

Good advice. But I have to ask, why is the repository revs folder
"browsable" by a Windows client? It seems you would not want to share
that directory via Samba.
Thanks,
