Adding Subversion access for a user

At Charta Software we use HTTP authentication to control access rights for users. Adding access rights for a user therefore means adding a new user to Apache and then specifying the access rights in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf file. The Apache user file for subversion is /var/subversion/users.

Example of adding the Subversion user to Apache:

[user@domain ~]# htpasswd /var/subversion/users username

After changing the Apache configuration file you will have to restart the httpd service
