This will allow you to specify users in the ldap directory that can be svn authors. They do not need to exist on any server just in LDAP. Apache will test the user login versus the ldap credientials and then grant access to the repository for that user.

with
hosting server = ldap.willspics.com
repository location on server = /opt/svnserve/repos
repository location on web = http:///svn/repos
edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf to contain the following

=
<Location /svn/repos>
DAV svn
SVNPath /opt/svnserve/repos
AuthType Basic
AuthName “Authorize Me”
AuthLDAPEnabled on
AuthLDAPAuthoritative on
AuthLDAPBindDN “CN=Manager,DC=epl,DC=willspics,DC=com”
AuthLDAPBindPassword xxxxxxxxx
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AuthLDAPURL ldap://ldap.xxxserver.com:389/ou=people,dc=epl,dc=xxxserver,dc=com?uid?sub?(objectClass=*)
