Because it works only with PLAIN auth:

tcpdump -ni eth0 -A src host 192.168.1.2 and tcp dst port 3690

17:10:10.488834 IP 192.168.1.2.59751 > 192.168.1.1.3690: Flags [P.],
seq 145:184, ack 166, win 65115, length 39
E..O.b@...."..@...@ .g.j....~...P..[....( PLAIN ( 21:AHVzZXIAcGFzc3dvcmQ=

We already have Apache via mod_svn and mod_ldap but it is very slow.
