[viewvc-users] acl repositories for proper authorization

ViewVC users,

 

I'm currently investigating viewvc for use within my company for use with
svn. We currently have thousands of repositories, and each has an acl file
for authorization. 

 

During testing, we've found that we can list the repos under svn_repos, and
for each one, add in lines for authentication.. which is going to add about
6000+ lines to our conf file per server. We also notice we can specify the
root_parent to get to our repos, but haven't found a way to authorize per
repo using this method. Has anyone done this? 

 

I notice in the ViewVC FAQ;

 

"Does ViewVC support path-based authorization, such as Subversion's
authz-file mechanism?

Yes, ViewVC 1.1.0 introduced this feature, and did so in a way that allows
folks with Python programming skills to (relatively) easily drop in their
own custom path-based authorization implementation modules."

 

Since my Python programming skills are (relatively) lacking, I thought I'd
see what others have done in this situation.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Thanks,

-Clay Jordan
