Hi:
I'm new to Subversion (my company is thinking seriously of migrating from
Perforce and VSS), and I'm trying to get Subversion 1.5.0 rc5 running (I
downloaded the installer from
http://merge-tracking.open.collab.net/servlets/ProjectProcess?tab=4).
I'm trying to get svnserve configured to authenticate against our Windows
Domain - I understand that the new SASL support in 1.5.0 should make this
possible. BTW, svnserve will be running on Windows 2003 Server. I know I
could get domain authentication by using Apache, but I'd much rather be
able to use svnserve because it appears simpler to set up/manage and is
supposed to be more performant.
I could really use some help in getting SASL configured. I've spent a few
days Googling for any info on how to do this, and everything I've found is
UNIX oriented and/or assumes a level of knowledge I just don't have.
Here's what I've done so far,
I added
[sasl]
use-sasl = true
to svnserve.conf.
I created svn.conf in the Subversion bin directory (in my case C:\Program
Files\Subversion) containing
mech_list: gssapi
svnserve seems to be paying attention to this, because TortoiseSvn returns
the error 'Could not obtain the list of SASL mechanisms', and if I replace
gssapi with DIGEST-MD5 (for example), I get an authentication failure.
I also see that if I run svn in a command window, I get an error regarding
a failure to find gssapi32.dll. I then installed MIT Kerberos for Windows
3.2.2, and that error went away, but I still get 'Could not obtain the
list of SASL mechanisms'.
I believe that I also have to provide a keytab file, and I could really
use some documentation on how to do this and how to tell SASL where to
find it.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
