Limit access to dav SVN to valid-users

Question

I tried to limit my svn repository with this manual:

This is my /etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf:

<Location /svn>
  DAV svn
  SVNPath /var/lib/svn
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Subversion Repository"
  AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
  AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.authz

  <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
    Require valid-user
  </LimitExcept>

  # SSLRequireSSL
</Location>

and this my /etc/apache2/dav_svn.authz :

[/]
* = r
testuser = rw
testuser2 = rw
...

this gives read access to everybody, and now there isn't any popup that would ask for my username.

And how would I have to configure it, so noone has read access but valid-users?

What am I missing?

take out the `* = r` line? – crashmstr Sep 18 '14 at 13:35 — crashmstr, Sep 18 '14 at 13:35

LimitExcept is only needed if you want to limit certain paths separately:

this will work:

<Location /svn>
  DAV svn
  SVNPath /var/lib/svn
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Subversion Repository"
  AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
  AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.authz

  Require valid-user

  # SSLRequireSSL
</Location>
