I have subversion on Linux authenticating users through the Active
Directory.

I setup samba on the subversion server, and joined it to the AD domain.
With samba I have winbind handle authentication of users.
I load the apache2 module mod-auth-pam, and my /etc/pam.d/apache2 is set
pam_winbind.so for authentication.

I let the windows group handle password account creation and password
resets. All I have to do is add the users to the subversion access
control list.
