Hello, I have a working LDAP-Server and some svn-repositories on an second server. The svnserv uses the "passwd" file at the moment for user authendication. Now I like to to use the LDAP instead. Because the handbook says, svnserv could be used with sasl to access a LDAP-server, I have set up a "saslauthd" on the svn-server. The saslauthd asks the LDAP over SSL if the given user is in a svn-group.
This is working fine so far, I can check this with: # sudo /usr/sbin/testsaslauthd -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD whitch returns either 0: OK "Success." or 0: NO "authentication failed" Now I have set up a "/usr/lib/sasl2/svn.conf", but I'm not shure, what to fill in. The lines from the svnhandbook are redirecting to a "/etc/sasldb2", which I have. But I don't want to use a database-file, the svnserv should request the localy running saslauthd. It is possible to do something like that, or are I comlpetely misunderstood the svnserver sasl-support? (A further point is, that "svnserve --version" on ubuntu 8.04 does not return something like "sasl", so it seems that I anyway need to compile it my own.) Thank you in advance very much!
