[viewvc-users] Interaction between svnauthz, authzfile and svn_config_dir

My configuration is:
ViewVC 1.1.1
RHEL4
Subversion 1.5.4

Most of my setup is working as expected but I am having trouble getting ViewVC to obey the access permissions defined in my authzfile.

Repository access is via HTTP only.  The repository and ViewVC are on different computers and hence use different instances of Apache but both share the same authzfile.  ViewVC prompts for credentials according to its Apache Location directive (which points to the authzfile) but these credentials appear not to be used for authenticating against the Subversion server.  Instead, the credentials cached in svn_config_dir appear to be used.  If I remove the cached credentials from svn_config_dir then I see a Python exception because ViewVC is unable to authenticate.

Have I misunderstood how all this works?  If so, can anyone help me out please?

Thanks
Kim
