While (as far as I know) VisualSVN is the only tool that makes it this easy
to setup, you can also use Active Directory as LDAP server with almost every
Subversion server package. (Wandisco, CollabNet, etc.)
And if you setup Apache httpd yourself you can avoid typing passwords by
setting up mod_authz_sspi.
(I think VisualSVN uses a combination of these systems)
