I did a test and it worked... except that I received the description of the group and not the user.... Not great...

Hi
 In our company we authenticate based on UserID, then we use email address for authz authentication.
 
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://bla.glob.com:389/(..)?UserID,mail?sub?(objectClass=*)"
AuthzForceUsernameCase Lower
AuthLDAPRemoteUserAttribute mail
AuthLDAPRemoteUserIsDN on
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
AuthzSVNAccessFile "/opt/svn/svn_authz_access"
 
In this example you need to have svn permissions defined as emails:
[groups]
abc_group = john.dejohn_at_example.com
 
If the user does commit, you will have his email address in the log history. This is very appreciated by our developers.
All entries in access_log / error_log will have user email instead of his id.
Hope it will address your issue.
Leszek

I use a post-commit hook to save the authentication ID as another
property and then reset the svn:author.
