Hi, We are using subversion 1.8.8 (r1568071) server on Ubuntu 14.04.
I need to add "$authenticated" to the group since this is required for our company generic group definitions. We created an authz file with group definitions as follows: [groups] myreaders = $authenticated [/] * = [/path1] $authenticated = r [/path2] @myreaders = r [/path3] # I know, this is actually a user definition myreaders = r It looks like it is not possible or not allowed to add the "$authenticated" token to a group definition: - Using it in /path1 is fine (as documented) - I expect it also to work in /path2, but it's not. $ /usr/bin/svnauthz accessof --username=someuser --path=/path1 ~/test.authz r $ /usr/bin/svnauthz accessof --username=someuser --path=/path2 ~/test.authz no $ /usr/bin/svnauthz accessof --username=someuser --path=/path3 ~/test.authz no $ /usr/bin/svnauthz accessof --username=myreaders --path=/path1 ~/test.authz r $ /usr/bin/svnauthz accessof --username=myreaders --path=/path2 ~/test.authz no $ /usr/bin/svnauthz accessof --username=myreaders --path=/path3 ~/test.authz # (Here it matches the "user" myreaders) r I couldn't find any documentation whether or not it is possible and/or allowed. Can someone confirm if this is expected to work or not? If not, is there a workaround to add "$authenticated" to a group? Thank you very much in advance! With best regards, Tom. -- ________________________________________________________________________ | tom.ghyseli...@excentis.com | | Tom Ghyselinck | Senior Engineer | Excentis N.V. | Gildestraat 8 B-9000 Ghent, Belgium | Tel: +32 9 269 22 91 - Fax: +32 9 329 31 74 ________________________________________________________________________
