svn with apache authentication with windows AD

Hi,

I am a newbie to the SVN configuration stuff.

I have installed svn using apache2 on a Linux machine. I used
AuthzSVNAccessFile and svn-auth-file (stores htpasswd entries) for the
authentication.

Now I am able to browse the SVN links using IE from a windows machine.

In place of using the svn-auth-file for doing the authentication now I
want to do the authentication using the Windows Active directory.
However I am not quite sure how to go about it. I have browsed a lot for
this but didn't get a concise doc that I can follow.

Can anyone please help me out with this?

Below is a list of steps that I have followed and what works for the
basic authentication using the files I have specified above.

Installed apache 2

tar -zxvf httpd-2.2.9.tar.gz

cd /home/sanjeev/svn_rpm/httpd-2.2.9

./buildconf

./configure --enable-dav --enable-so

make

make install

After that I installed subversion-1.5.0:

tar -zxvf subversion-1.5.0.tar.gz

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/subversion --with-apr=/usr/local/apache2
--with-apr-util=/usr/local/apache2 --with-neon=/usr/local/apache2

make

make install

Created a new repository:

cd /usr/local/subversion

svnadmin create repository

cd repository

ported my database in place of the db in the existing repository

After the installation of the svn 1.5 the following modules
(mod_authz_svn.so, mod_dav_svn.so) were created at
/usr/local/apache2/modules and entries made in automatically in the
httpd.conf file.

I also created the AuthzSVNAccessFile and the svn-auth-file in the conf
directory of the repository

Then I added the entries for my repository to the httpd.conf file at the
end:

<Location /test>

DAV svn

SVNParentPath /usr/local/subversion/repository

AuthzSVNAccessFile
/usr/local/subversion/repository/conf/AuthzSVNAccessFile

AuthType Basic

AuthName "TEST-SubversionRepository"

AuthUserFile /home/bhdc-repo/conf/svn-auth-file

Require valid-user

</Location>

Also made the changes to the port no in the httpd.conf file

After the I started the apache by issuing the command:

/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

I was now able to browse the svn from a windows machine using the access
link

http://20.14a.x.yy/test

I have also installed openldap-2.3.39:

cd openldap-2.3.39

./configure -prefix=/usr/local/openldap

make depend

make

make install

PS: I tried building the mod_auth_kerb-5.3.tar.gz

However I faced the following error

I tried to configure it by using the below command:
./configure --with-krb4=no --with-krb5=/usr/kerberos
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

However it fails with the following error:

checking whether we are using Heimdal... no

checking whether the GSSAPI libraries support SPNEGO... no

checking for apxs... no

checking for apxs2... no

configure: error: failed to find apache apxs executable

Please let me know if anyone has done the authentication for SVN running
on Linux using Microsoft's AD.

Thanks.
