Redmine svn repository - can't auth from remote

Here's my setup:

Everything in Redmine is working fine, the repositories get created by reposman and can be browsed from their project page. The problem arises when i try to access a svn repo via a remote pc.

If i type svn ls http://server-ip/svn/prj it shows me the repo content without asking for login.

With svn mkdir http://server-ip/svn/prj/dir instead it asks for password but as i enter 开发者_Python百科it, I get prompted for login again. After the third try i get the following error:

svn: MKACTIVITY di '/svn/test1/!svn/act/25265483-dc10-4e3b-a7a5-a2e5bb84486f': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (http://192.168.1.201)

1. I can't figure out why authentication doesn't work.
2. I was expecting a login prompt also for the svn ls command.

I also checked the sessions on MySQL server and I can't see any for the user 'redmine' when i try to access the repository, so it seems Apache/Redmine don't even try to connect to MySQL for authentication. I followed this guide to set up svn access.

Does someone knows how to fix my problem?

Thank you

I had the same issue. The problem is with the accounts that use LDAP authentication. If you create an internal account and add it to the project as a developer you will be able to commit.

To get Redmine, LDAP, and SVN to work you need to add "PerlLoadModule Authen::Simple::LDAP" to you apache configuration As mentioned here:
http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Repositories_access_control_with_apache_mod_dav_svn_and_mod_perl#optional-LDAP-Authentication

You should have better luck on Ubuntu but to get Authen::Simple::LDAP installed on OpenSUSE 11.3 inside our corperate firewall I had to:

• get CPAN to FTP in passive mode http://www.netadmintools.com/art273.html
• configure CPAN and install in the following order

cpan> install Module::Implementation

cpan> install Attribute::Handlers

cpan> install Params::Validate

cpan> install Authen::Simple

cpan> install Authen::Simple::LDAP

• After this it still was not working so I started debugging. I installed tcpdump and figured out that it was not using the configured port to do the authentication. I modified Redmine.pm from a hostname to a URL and that fixed it

      # open (LEELOG, ">>/tmp/leelog");
      # print LEELOG "-----------\n";
      # print LEELOG "$rowldap[0]\n";
      # print LEELOG "$rowldap[1]\n";
      # print LEELOG "$rowldap[2]\n";
      # print LEELOG "$rowldap[3]\n";
      # print LEELOG "$rowldap[4]\n";
      # print LEELOG "$rowldap[5]\n";
      # print LEELOG "$rowldap[6]\n";
  
      my $ldap = Authen::Simple::LDAP->new(
          host    =>      ($rowldap[2] eq "1" || $rowldap[2] eq "t") ? "ldaps://$rowldap[0]:$rowldap[1]" : "ldap://$rowldap[0]:$rowldap[1]",
          port    =>      $rowldap[1],
          basedn  =>      $rowldap[5],
          binddn  =>      $rowldap[3] ? $rowldap[3] : "",
          bindpw  =>      $rowldap[4] ? $rowldap[4] : "",
          filter  =>      "(".$rowldap[6]."=%s)"

In my situation, I just unclick Settings-Information-Public and it works! Public projects don't need auth and I cannot commit.

I didn't use LDAP.
