SVN Active Directory authentication with ProxyPass redirect in the mix
- by Jason B. Standing
We have a BitNami SVN stack running on a Windows machine which holds our SVN repository. It's set up to authenticate against our AD server and uses authz to control rights. Everything works perfectly if Tortoise points at http://[machine name]/svn
However - we need to be able to access it from http://[domain]/svn. The domain name points to a linux environment that we're decommissioning, but until we do, other systems on that box prevent us from just re-pointing the domain record.
Currently, we've got a ProxyPass record on the linux machine to forward requests through to http://[machine name]/svn - it seems to work fine, and the endpoint machine asks for credentials, then authenticates: but when that happens, the access attempt is logged as coming from the linux box, rather than from the user who has authenticated.
It's almost like some element of the credentials aren't being passed through to the endpoint machine.
Has anyone done this before, or is there other info I can give to try to make sense of this problem, and figure out a way to solve it?
Thankyou!
