Using Apache to Authenticate (SAMBA users)

Hi all,

is it at all possible for me to get the following working so that Apache can authenticate users of a SVN Subversion Repository with the following setup?

- SAMBO on Unix (Where users login accounts are stored)
- Users on Windows Machines (XP)
- Apache on Windows Server 2003
- Subversion on Windows Server 2003 (will reside on same server as Apache)

Obviously, the Apache module mod_auth_pam is Unix specific, so is there anyway I can use this setup so that Subversion can use the users Authentication credentials that are on SAMBA to authenticate against Subversion via an Apache module?

Thanks

Tryst

I don't understand what role apache is playing in your idea.

Setup SVN to authenticate using PAM, use a PAM module to authenticate against the samba server. Setup /etc/pam.d/svn to use this module.

google for "pam_smb". I think this is what you need.

But I am not sure if SVN supports PAM, also you might have to recompile it. Check the SVN docs first.

HTH,
