Hello,
I'm not subscribed for the mailing list and would kindly ask to be CC'd in responses. We are running an apache/SVN server instance with mixed authenticated/anonymous access configuration (see below). We use LDAP and file based authentication, the latter for legacy reasons. Upon each authenticated access a following message appears in the apache access log: [Wed Dec 02 15:51:06.153148 2020] [authz_svn:error] [pid 176419] [client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXXX] Access denied: - OPTIONS repoX:/foo The message is not generated when anonymously accessible directories are accessed. This behavior pollutes our logs pretty badly because the majority of the svn operations happen on repos that do require credentials to access. Is my assumption correct that each time an authenticated access happens, an anonymous access is tried first that leads to this message being generated? Is it possible to tweak the configuration somehow to get rid of this message? Thank you very much! ====================================================== Our Apache version: Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu) /etc/apache2/svn_access.conf: SVNParentPath /var/svn/repos SVNReposName "Subversion Repository" <IfModule deflate_module> SetOutputFilter DEFLATE </IfModule> AuthzSVNAccessFile "/var/svn/apache2/svn_access_file" SVNPathAuthz short_circuit SVNListParentPath On AuthzForceUsernameCase Lower SVNAutoversioning on AuthType Basic AuthName "Automation Subversion Repository" AuthUserFile "/var/svn/apache2/local_svn_passwd" Order deny,allow Satisfy any Require valid-user AuthBasicProvider ldap file AuthName "CollabNet Subversion Repository" AuthLDAPURL "ldap://xxx"; Include /etc/apache2/ldap_password.conf
