I have a subversion server running with apache. It authenticates users
using LDAP configuration and uses SVN path-based authorizations to limit
user access to certain repositories. This works perfectly.
Now, I have a service I want to setup (rietveld, for code reviews) that
needs to have an anonymous access to the repository. As this is a web
service, accesses are always done from the same server. Thus I added an
apache configuration to allow accesses from this machine. without user
authentication.
| <Limit GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
Order allow,deny
Allow from # private IP address
Satisfy Any
</Limit>
|
This did not work until I add an additional line "* = r" in the
authorization file to allow read access to all users.
For instance, before I add the authorization from a specific IP, all
users were authenticated, and thus had a name. Now, some accesses are
done without a user name! I found the |"-|" user name in the apache log
files, but the line "|- = r"| does not work, neither do |"anonymous =
r"|. I'd like not to allow read access to everyone in SVN authorization.
How can I do this?
