Hi fellow SVN users,

I am wondering about AuthDBMUserFile with SVN.
I see people on this email list using AuthUserFile, and I have successfully 
tested authentication with AuthUserFile on my test server...

But I believe that file format is restricted to two columns only with an 
end-o-line character required at the end of the encrypted password, (but I want 
more;)  I would like to be able to append other info to the end of that line.  
I believe AuthDBMUserFile can handle this but I have not been able to get it to 
work.

I have created a DBM file using dbmmanage that contains only one 
user:encryptedpassword, and I provided the path in the httpd.conf file  ... but 
am I supposed to declare the file type in the httpd.config file?  If so, how 
can I determine my file type that I've created?

So far I have something like this:
<AuthnProviderAlias file fileDBM>
   AuthDBMType default|SDBM|GDBM|NDBM|DB
   AuthDBMUserFile /path/to/MyDBMfile.pag
</AuthnProviderAlias>

I have also included this line in the <Location > block for my test repository":
   AuthDBMUserFile fileDBM
   AuthzDBMAuthoritative Off

So my whole location block looks something like this:
<Location /testDir>
   DAV svn
   SVNParentPath /path/to/testDir
   AuthType Basic
   AuthDBMUserFile fileDBM
   AuthzDBMAuthoritative Off
   AuthName "Testbed Subversion Repository"
   Require valid-user
</Location>

I can see mod_authz_dbm and mod_authn_dbm are loaded on my production server.   
So I think they are also on my test server, but I don't know how to check.


Any suggestions?

Thanks,
