Apache already works the way you describe. You do not need a tunnel user,
and one is not supported anyway.

httpd runs as a user, and all OS level read/write is by that user. It
needs to have permissions to the repository files on disks. Apache
authenticates users however you have configured it, and the svn:author is
set based on the authenticated user.
