I have been working to get Apache2 WebDAV with SVN to authenticate against the XOOPS user database. I wanted to duplicate the work done by
http://blog.platinumsolutions.com/node/46I can proclaim success on the first goal of the project. I will not detail the steps to get apache2 SVN and auth_mysql installed. After these are installed and apache2 is running properly then you can modify the apache configuration file for SVN.
Here are the contents of my configuration file.
<IfDefine SVN>
<IfModule !mod_dav_svn.c>
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
</IfModule>
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /usr/data/repository/
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repository"
SSLRequireSSL
AuthMySQLUser auth_svn
AuthMySQLPassword pass
AuthMySQLDB xoops_database
AuthMySQLUserTable xxxx_users
AuthMySQLNameField loginname
AuthMySQLPasswordField pass
AuthMySQLPwEncryption md5
Require valid-user
</Location>
<IfDefine SVN_AUTHZ>
<IfModule !mod_authz_svn.c>
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so
</IfModule>
</IfDefine>
</IfDefine>
The directives in the above code should obviously be modified for your installation of xoops.
AuthMySQLUser auth_svn
AuthMySQLPassword auth
These are the directives that specify the username and password of a MySQL user that has select permission on the user table of the XOOPS database.
This above will allow access control to svn repositories from all registered users in the XOOPS database. The next step is to get group control integrated. I do not know php or MySQL but getting group integration is as easy as writing a XOOPS script to write a flat text file in the proper format and in the proper location.
If any of you are interested doing this then here is a link that descibes the format(among other things).
