Hi Brane,

sorry i cannot post the contents of VisualSVN-WinAuthz.ini file since it is 
company security related.
I will take some time to setup a separate Demo LDAP, but this will take some 
time.

But basically my observation is

1) You have ldap group "GroupA"
2) Within that group you have users user_a and user_b (memberOf Attribute)

now
3)  you setup your  repo authz file
*****************************
[/]
user_a          rw
GroupA          rw
*****************************

(I explicity do not include something like Group_A=user_a,user_b and set 
@Group_A rw in authz file as this would duplicate ldap definition
of Group membership)

svnauthz gives "rw" for user_a and "Result no" for user_b



my guess is that svnauthz does not evaluate the actual ldap info and ony cares 
about groups defined in authz file whereas "svn --username .. ." does 
authenticate with the ldap-group.  If I am thinking about the svnauthz 
commandline, svnauthz has no information about the ldap connection which sits 
in apache httpd.conf.

regards
Thomas

I really have no idea what the WinAuthz.ini file is and what VisualSVN does 
with it. It's impossible to say if your result is expected if we don't see the 
contents of the authz file.

But yes, 'svnauthz' will calculate access for users, not for groups. A user can 
be a member of several groups and the actual rights she has can be a 
combination of rights granted to the groups.
