I have a strange authentication issue related to Subversion (Apache acting as server) integrated with Redmine.
I tried anything I can think of but nothing works (I can't find the exact cause of this issue).
The configuration is the following:
<Location />
DAV svn
LimitXMLRequestBody 0
SVNPathAuthz off
SVNParentPath "/srv/svn"
SVNListParentPath off
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Repository"
PerlAccessHandler Apache::Authn::Redmine::access_handler
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::Authn::Redmine::authen_handler
RedmineDSN "DBI:mysql:database=redmine;host=repository.host.tld"
RedmineDbUser "redmine_user"
RedmineDbPass "redmine_pass"
Require valid-user
Order allow,deny
Allow from 192.168.3.0/24 x.x.x.x
Satisfy all
</Location>
If I try accessing the repository (for read/write) from the intranet (192.168.3.0/24) every thing works properly as expected, but when I try the same thing from an external address (x.x.x.x) I'm getting the following error:
Updating '.':
svn: E175002: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://repository.host.tld/repo'
svn: E175002: Unexpected HTTP status 500 'Internal Server Error' on '/repo'
svn: E175002: Additional errors:
svn: E175002: OPTIONS request on '/repo' failed: 500 Internal Server Error
Apache reports the following in the error logs:
AuthUserFile not specified in the configuration
Like I said I tried anything suggested on the web, nothing works except setting Satisfy any. Setting Satisfy to any is a very bad idea for me because disables authentication and authorization in certain cases (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#satisfy).
Redmine version is: 2.5.1 (2014-03-29) (stable)
Subversion version is: 1.7.0
Apache version is: Apache/2.2.22
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
