SVN Authentication with LDAP and Active Directory
- by Alex Holsgrove
I am having a few problems getting SVN authentication to work with LDAP / Active Directory. My SVN installation works fine, but after enabling LDAP in my apache vhost, I just can't get my users to authenticate.
I can use a selection of LDAP browsers to successfully connect to Active Directory, but just can't seem to get this to work.
SVN is setup in /var/local/svn
Server is svn.domain.local
For testing, my repository is /var/local/svn/test
My vhost file is as follows:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerAlias svn.domain.local
ServerName svn.domain.local
DocumentRoot /var/www/svn/
<Location /test>
DAV svn
#SVNListParentPath On
SVNPath /var/local/svn/test
AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/local/svn/svnaccess
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
AuthType Basic
AuthName "SVN Server"
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthLDAPBindDN "CN=adminuser,OU=SBSAdmin Users,OU=Users,OU=MyBusiness,DC=domain,DC=local"
AuthLDAPBindPassword "admin password"
AuthLDAPURL "ldap://192.168.1.6:389/OU=SBSUsers,OU=Users,OU=MyBusiness,DC=domain,DC=local?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=*)"
Require valid-user
</Location>
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/svn/access.log combined
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/svn/error.log
</VirtualHost>
In my error.log, I don't seem to get any bind errors (should I be looking elsewhere?), but just the following:
[Thu Jun 21 09:51:38 2012] [error] [client 192.168.1.142] user alex: authentication failure for "/test/": Password Mismatch, referer: http://svn.domain.local/test/
At the end of "AuthLDAPURL", I have seen people using TLS and NONE but neither seem to help in my case.
I have the ldap modules loaded and have checked as much as I know, so any help would be most welcome. Thanks
