Fw: svnserve on W2K3

[Oops, didn't realize this wouldn't auto-reply to the list...]

Well, actually just the opposite. I'm looking for help with the flat-file structures. I'm really not after AD integration at this point. I went from an Admin role in my last position to a Developer role now, in which I have autonomy over the repositories, but no general [network] security control. So, since I got a sandbox to play in, I'd rather just manage the minimal amount of security I need, myself.

Thanks for the response though. I'll take a look at the 1.5 beta docs and see if that may be a solution for the future.

Let's clear one thing up first. You seem to want domain-based, automatic client authentication, via active directory / kerberos, right? This does not work if you are using svnserve 1.4, so you'll have to wait till at least when 1.5 is released. For now, if you're using 1.4, the only authentication on svnserve is stored in a plain-text flat file on the server, so it essentially means that the sys admin must assign the password for each user.

Correct, everyone?

For now, if you want kerberos authentication, single sign-on, users choose their own passwords, then apache is the preferred method, but you could also consider svn+ssh, or IIS. Right everyone?
