const char *wri_abspath in svn_client_open_ra_session2() can be NULL,
and const char *url can be pointed to non-exist node within the repository.
Here is an example using Python bindings
(svn_client_open_ra_session() acts as wri_abspath is NULL):
[[[
$ sudo -u mailman -g mailman svn ls svn+ssh://svn-agent-sysadmin@localhost/@
svn: E170001: Authorization failed
$ sudo -u mailman -g mailman python
