Hi To note also that httpd.conf has these 2 directives: <Location /svn/ABC/XYZ> DAV svn SVNParentPath /jupiter/export/ABC/XYZ/ AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthLDAPUrl ldap://.... <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT> Require valid-user </LimitExcept> AuthType Basic AuthName "Please enter your credentials" ..... </Location> <Location /svn/ABC/XYZ/123> DAV svn SVNParentPath /jupiter/export/ABC/XYZ/123 AuthBasicProvider ldap AuthLDAPUrl ldap://.... Require user XXX Require user YYY AuthType Basic AuthName "Please enter your credentials" ..... </Location> Could it be because these 2 directives exist and cause a conflict? I tried to reverse them but with this setting no authentication was required. thank you. --- On Wed, 19/8/09, Melanie Pfefer <melanie_pfefer@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Melanie Pfefer <melanie_pfefer@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: 'require' keyword > To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, aw@xxxxxxxxxx > Date: Wednesday, 19 August, 2009, 3:50 PM > any idea why I am getting this error > (although xxx is in Require list): > > access to /svn/ABC/XYZ/ failed, reason: user 'xxx' does not > meet 'require'ments for user/valid-user to be allowed > access > > thanks > > --- On Wed, 19/8/09, André Warnier <aw@xxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > > > From: André Warnier <aw@xxxxxxxxxx> > > Subject: Re: 'require' keyword > > To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Date: Wednesday, 19 August, 2009, 1:11 PM > > Melanie Pfefer wrote: > > > <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT> > > > Require valid-user <--- change here to > > Require followed by the ldap username.
