I suppose this is slightly off-topic, but still relevant.
I'm in the process of getting this to work myself, with a Drupal MySQL
database. One option when hosting with Apache is to use the
mod_auth_mysql module to authenticate users based on username and
password from a table and columns you specify.
A good link to start with is probably: http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/trac/wiki/ApacheMySQLAuthentication
Note that they are applying a patch to make the module work with
Apache 2, which is required for using mod_dav_svn.
You can use the <Location> directive at the top level of an Apache
config file, or within a <VirtualHost> directive.
Best of luck,
