Hi,

Andreas can you please share more about this?
I've been looking for a solution for this for a while, but I only found 
hacks like when entering your password, also add your OTP at the end 
every time you do an svn operation
Is a modern OTP or Oauth authentication possible with httpd and the svn 
clients, that's not inconvenient or weird?

Best regards,
Peter
