Re: svnserv + ssh + ldap

Hi there,

this is in addition to my last post:

If i use
- svn:// protocol everything will be sent in plain text so this will
have security issues -> not usable for me
- svn+ssh:// protocol i need an account on the server for every person
for two reasons: The authentication using ssh and to manage the file
permissions of the repository. This could be avoided using certificates
as i read in a howto. But this wouldn't integrate LDAP
- https: protocal using an apache webserver i enable everybody to browse
the repository using a webbrowser. Is that correct? Could this be avoided?

Does anybody see any alternatives to the three mentioned? Or a way to
avoid the mentioned cons?

Best regards

Nils
