Thanks Nick, Unfortunately an LDAP approach won't work in this case. I'm trying to link to a subversion repository from a wiki collaborative site. The users of the collaborative site come from many different companies so I'm a little restricted in what I can do. This is entirely user-based. I'm controlling access from the wiki but wanted to provide a direct link to our repository without requiring the additional password challenge.
