Re: SVN LADP Group Authentication

Perhaps the suggestion in this link
(http://blogs.open.collab.net/svn/2007/03/subversion_ldap.html) will
help. The suggestion I am referring to is not the initial post, but the
third or fourth comment down. Beyond this, I don't believe there is a
way to get finer grained controls without using the auth file.

Rereading you post, I wonder if you do really need the access file. Are
all of your repositories separate? Would you be against multiple
<Location> directives? My own personal use has been using LDAP and
LIMIT / LIMIT EXCEPT configuration to set groups to specific
repositories. Each repository belongs to a product team. For the most
part, our development teams have full write access to their project, so
perhaps I don't need as much fine-grained control.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Regards,
Frank
