NAME
svnserve.conf - Repository configuration file for svnserve
SYNOPSIS
repository-path/conf/svnserve.conf
DESCRIPTION
svnserve.conf controls the behavior of the svnserve daemon on a per-
repository basis. It is located in the conf subdirectory of the repos-
itory.
The overall structure of the file is the same as the structure of Sub-
version user configuration files. At the top level are sections, which
are specified by words in square brackets; inside each section are
variable definitions of the form "variable = value". Lines beginning
with '#' are ignored. svnserve.conf currently uses only one section
named "general", and supports the following variables:
anon-access = none|read|write
Determines the access level for unauthenticated users. write
access allows all repository operations. read access allows all
operations except committing and changing revision properties.
none access allows no access. The default level is read.
auth-access = none|read|write
Determines the access level for authenticated users, using the
same access levels as above. The default level is write.
password-db = filename
Sets the location of the password database. filename may be rela-
tive to the repository conf directory. There is no default value.
The password database has the same overall format as this file.
It uses only one section "users"; each variable within the section
is a username, and each value is a password.
authz-db = path
The authz-db option controls the location of the authorization
rules for path-based access control. path may be relative to the
repository conf directory. path may be a repository relative URL
(^/) or absolute file:// URL to a text file in a Subversion repos-
itory. There is no default value. If you don't specify an authz-
db, no path-based access control is done.
realm = realm-name
Sets the authentication realm of the repository. If two reposito-
ries have the same password database, they should have the same
realm, and vice versa; this association allows clients to use a
single cached password for several repositories. The default
realm value is the repository's uuid.
EXAMPLE
The following example svnserve.conf allows read access for authenti-
cated users, no access for anonymous users, points to a passwd database
in the same directory, and defines a realm name.
[general]
anon-access = none
auth-access = read
password-db = passwd
realm = My First Repository
The file "passwd" would look like:
[users]
joeuser = joepassword
jayrandom = randomjay
