[viewvc-users] Integration of svn authz file

I'm new to viewvc, and am working off of a preconfigured installation that was here before I started.  The guy who configured it is gone.

I've recently added an svnauthz file to the svn configuration, which works perfectly.  I'm trying to now configure ViewVC to use that svnauthz file, but am running into problems.  I'm sure the problem is I just don't understand what I'm doing! :)

So this is the viewvc.conf file in /etc/viewvc/:
[general]
root_parents = /svn : svn
default_root = the_repository
use_rcsparse = 0
address = <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Mail to admin</a>
forbidden =
forbiddenre =
kv_files =
languages = en-us

[options]
root_as_url_component = 0
default_file_view = log
checkout_magic = 0
http_expiration_time = 600
generate_etags = 1
sort_by = file
sort_group_dirs = 1
hide_attic = 1
log_sort = date
diff_format = h
hide_cvsroot = 1
hr_breakable = 1
hr_funout = 0
hr_ignore_white = 1
hr_ignore_keyword_subst = 1
hr_intraline = 0
allow_tar = 0
allow_annotate = 1
allow_markup = 1
allow_compress = 1
template_dir = /usr/local/viewvc/templates
docroot = /viewvc-static
show_subdir_lastmod = 0
show_logs = 1
show_log_in_markup = 1
cross_copies = 1
use_localtime = 0
py2html_path = .
short_log_len = 80
use_enscript = 0
enscript_path =
use_highlight = 0
highlight_line_numbers = 1
highlight_convert_tabs = 2
use_php = 0
php_exe_path = php
use_cvsgraph = 0
cvsgraph_path =
cvsgraph_conf = /etc/viewvc/cvsgraph.conf
use_re_search = 0
use_pagesize = 0
limit_changes = 100

[templates]
directory = /usr/local/viewvc-1.0.7/templates/directory.ezt

[cvsdb]
enabled = 0

[vhosts]

Again, this configuration works just fine, in that, everyone can view and browse using ViewVC unrestricted.

From my reading of whatever I could get ahold of using google, I've added the following lines:

To the [options] section:
authorizer = svnauthz

and then:
[authz-svnauthz]
authzfile = /path/to/svnauthz_file

After I add those lines, it still doesn't use the authz file.  Users are able to fully browse the entire repo regardless of the restrictions.

Obviously I'm missing something, any thoughts?
