Thank you for your help but I think you may have misunderstood my question. In your previous email where you showed the content of your AuthzSVNAccessFile file as. What I am looking for is to be able to is where you say
[groups] developers = Giulio Troccoli, Harpal Panesar I want to be able to say developers = CN=*****,OU=Security Groups,... A group I have defined in LDAP. The groups and user permissions are already defined for other applications and services and I do not want to have to manage them in LDAP and SVN. Know of any way of doing that? -----Original Message----- From: Giulio Troccoli [mailto:giulio.trocc...@uk.linedata.com] Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2010 9:16 AM To: 'Lee Kaufman' Cc: 'users@subversion.apache.org' Subject: RE: LDAP Group Configuration in AuthzSVNAccessFile > -----Original Message----- > From: Lee Kaufman [mailto:lee.kauf...@transmetric.com] > Sent: 01 April 2010 14:57 > To: Giulio Troccoli > Subject: RE: LDAP Group Configuration in AuthzSVNAccessFile > > Right but how do I define that group as a LDAP group e.g. > CN=hasReadWrite,DN=groups,DN=myDomain? > This is the full config (sensitive information has been replaced by ********) ## ## Define the alias of LDAP authentication ## <AuthnProviderAlias ldap ldap-test> AuthLDAPURL "ldap://*******/OU=Users,OU=London,OU=North Europe,OU=Regional,DC=ad,DC=linedata,DC=com?SAMAccountName,name?sub?(objectC lass=*)" AuthLDAPBindDN "CN=SA_Subversion,OU=Service Accounts,OU=Global,DC=ad,DC=linedata,DC=com" AuthLDAPBindPassword ******** AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off AuthLDAPRemoteUserAttribute name </AuthnProviderAlias> ## ## Define the alias for SVN Admins authentication ## <AuthnProviderAlias file svn-admins> AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache2/etc/svn-admin.passwd </AuthnProviderAlias> <Location /svn-test> DAV svn SVNPath /data/TestRepositories/svn-test # Name of the repository AuthName "Subversion Testing Repository" # What authentication to use AuthType Basic AuthBasicProvider ldap-test svn-admins file # How to authenticate extra people AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache2/etc/svn-test.passwd # Always requier an authenticated user #Allow from all Order deny,allow Require valid-user # Access Control Policy AuthzSVNAccessFile /usr/local/apache2/etc/svn-test.access </Location> > -----Original Message----- > From: Giulio Troccoli [mailto:giulio.trocc...@uk.linedata.com] > Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2010 2:42 AM > To: 'Stefan Sperling'; 'Aaron Turner' > Cc: 'Lee Kaufman'; users@subversion.apache.org > Subject: RE: LDAP Group Configuration in AuthzSVNAccessFile > > > > > I have been set the task of setting up SVN and connecting > > > > Authentication and Authorization to our MS Active > > Directory system. > > > > The SVN is now running on a Debian Linux server.
