Thanks for taking care of that Don. Also, on the long term it might be a good idea to have the subversion server use LDAP for authentication so that new accounts get automatically created.

The subversion server relies on Apache for authentication (developers access subversion through http:// protocol). So the steps to do so would be the following:

1) Edit the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/svn.conf and replace "AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/.htaccess" with equivalent LDAP authentication section

2) In the /etc/httpd/conf/svn_acl, replace the name of user with their equivalent LDAP login

That should be it...

Guillaume
