Does ldap config work without apache?
Can we configure the ldap authentication with svnserve.conf(individual projects)?

I have one(some) more doubt(s):

previously my svn server is accessible for the clients with the individual passwd settings defined in /svn/repo1/conf/svnserve.conf file. In this passwd-db is the global file which contains the manual entries of user name and passwds and authz is the authentication permissions of individual repositories.

Now i have set up LDAP with repository wise permissions with AuthzSVNAccessFile (actually ready to set up which was tested in my local machine). How can this effects the previous permissions? shall svn clients from users able to use new passwds which are avilable through my new LDAP config? Can i remove the Entries in the individual repositories of authz and make them in /var/svn/access.txt file?

Above is working fine after i added the above entries in access.txt file in the svn(/var/svn in my case) location and add this to my config file as
AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/svn/access.txt

how can i give use the ldap authentication repository wise.

I want to create a setup so that the user exists in the Ldap and the provided the permission for a specific repository only will view the repository data, otherwise it shouldn't allow the user to view it. I tried with the below setup but it did not work for me. Any help on this?

ls /var/svn
myrepo newrep test testrepo
are my repositories

[/]
* = r

[newrep:/]
user1 = r
user2 = rw

[test:/]
user2 = r
user4 = rw

I was getting forbidden errors trying to access repos. All I needed to do to fix this was change to and access via the URL https:///repos/ and all is well

What about the 'AuthzSVNAccessFile option?
With that file I control at the moment which user has read or write access.

Looks like it is not possible at the moment to retrieve this settings also from a ldap directory.

Any ideas?
