Thanks for pointing it out. I cleaned everything and started fresh with new repo named repo4:
1) svnserve.conf file [general] anon-access = none auth-access = write password-db = passwd authz-db = authz realm = repo4 [sasl] 2) authz file [aliases] [groups] harry_and_sally = harry,sally [repository:/home/RKapur/repo4] @harry_and_sally = rw 3) passwd file [users] harry = harryssecret sally = sallyssecret 4) Server log file: 11090 2012-07-24T18:13:22.963843Z 192.168.4.64 harry home/RKapur/repo4 open 2 cap=(edit-pipeline svndiff1 absent-entries depth mergeinfo log-revprops) / SVN/1.6.11%20(r934486) - 11090 2012-07-24T18:13:26.820916Z 192.168.4.64 harry home/RKapur/repo4 get-latest-rev 11090 2012-07-24T18:13:26.821060Z 192.168.4.64 harry home/RKapur/repo4 reparent / 11090 2012-07-24T18:13:26.821156Z 192.168.4.64 harry home/RKapur/repo4 ERR subversion/svnserve/serve.c 167 170001 Authorization failed 5) conversation on client side - I executed the following command on server machine: [rkapur@nyc-devhieapp01 client]$ svn co svn://192.168.4.64/home/RKapur/repo4 Authentication realm: <svn://192.168.4.64:3690> repo4 Password for 'rkapur': Authentication realm: <svn://192.168.4.64:3690> repo4 Username: harry Password for 'harry': ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION! Your password for authentication realm: <svn://192.168.4.64:3690> repo4 can only be stored to disk unencrypted! You are advised to configure your system so that Subversion can store passwords encrypted, if possible. See the documentation for details. You can avoid future appearances of this warning by setting the value of the 'store-plaintext-passwords' option to either 'yes' or 'no' in '/home/RKapur/.subversion/servers'. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Store password unencrypted (yes/no)? yes svn: Authorization failed as it appears that "rkapur" is the user that I am logged in to this linux machine so somehow svn client asks me for that user's password. When I give it - it ignores and ask for username and password - which I gave as "harry" but I still get Authorization failed ? do you think it has to do with some permission because its not authentication error its authorization error. Any where I should look at or how to increase more logging on server side?
