LDAP authentication through Apache for svn, trac or anything else for that matter :P

Posted by Sahil Ahuja as Technology, apache, delta, fedora, httpd, ldap, linux, pragyan, svn, trac

Apache can be used as an access method for things like svn, trac, and even a whole file system through webdav. And apache also supports authentication through LDAP. Hence Apache can be used to authenticate the services that it provides through LDAP.
Here is how it is done :
For SVN :

ServerName                          repos.nitt.edu
DocumentRoot                        “/var/www/svn/DocumentRoot/”
ErrorLog logs/repos.nitt.edu-error_log
CustomLog logs/repos.nitt.edu-access_log […]

    ServerName                          repos.nitt.edu
    DocumentRoot            “/var/www/html”
I got an error
RA layer request failed
svn: PROPFIND request failed on […]
