RE: [viewvc-users] Authorization problem

It's fixed! 

I was missing AuthBasicProvider => 'ldap', from the second block of perl code in subversion.conf. 


        $LocationMatch{"^/viewvc/$repo_name(\$|/)"} = {
          AuthType => 'Basic',
          AuthBasicProvider => 'ldap',
          AuthName => 'Authorization',
          AuthLDAPURL => 'ldap://ldap.advance.net/dc=advance,dc=net',
        };

Many thanks.

Regards,
James.

Hi All,

There is a perl script, in subversion.conf, that generates directives, see subversion_perl_dump.txt for a couple of examples of directives output. The conf.d stuff is in /etc/httpd/conf.d. 

Server version: Apache/2.2.3
Server built:   May  4 2011 06:51:15

viewvc-1.1.11

Subversion command-line client, version 1.6.11

Regards,
James.

James, the error log entry that you see is not coming from ViewVC, but from Apache itself.  I'm not sure exactly which code path leads to this error -- perhaps you could share with us the related configuration sections from your httpd.conf file?  (Feel free to obfuscate private information therein.)
