Hi All, 

Ok I am trying to achieve a repository that at its base level everyone has
read-only access without a username. But then at subsequent levels I would
like to remove their access so they have none. I thought this could be
accomplished with 1.6 with the addition of "~" and "$anonymous" but I have
yet been able to get a working configuration.

First off I tried setting up my apache just like this for my repo.
   Code: 
  <Location /repos>
  DAV svn 
  SVNParentPath /var/svn

  # our access control policy
  AuthzSVNAccessFile /path/to/access/file

  # try anonymous access first, resort to real
  # authentication if necessary.
  Satisfy Any 
  Require valid-user

  # how to authenticate a user
  AuthType Basic 
  AuthName "Subversion repository"
  AuthUserFile /path/to/users/file
</Location> 

with this in my SVNAccessFile

   Code: 
  [openclinica:/subdir]
@clients = rw 
@svn-admin = rw 

[/] 
@svn-admin = rw 

I could not achieve a non authenticated user to gain access unless i added
either "* = r" or "$anonymous = r" to the [/] in the access file. so now my
file looks like this.

   Code: 
  [openclinica:/subdir]
@clients = rw 
@svn-admin = rw 

[/] 
@svn-admin = rw 
$anonymous = r 

Now I try to remove access to my subdir for the anonymous users by adding
"~$anonymous = r" so my file now looks like this.

   Code: 
  [openclinica:/subdir]
@clients = rw 
@svn-admin = rw 
~$anonymous = r 

[/] 
@svn-admin = rw 
$anonymous = r 

which apparently does nothing as anonymous users can still access my subdir
and it does not force anyone to login.

So then I tried the following.

   Code: 
  [openclinica:/subdir]
@clients = rw 
@svn-admin = rw 
$anonymous = 

[/] 
@svn-admin = rw 
$anonymous = r 

Which did not allow anonymous users to access my subdir, unfortunately it
does not allow my authenticated users to access the subdir either.

I have tried all these configuration with the "Satisfy Any" in apache
enabled and disabled. Please help!!
