Digest authentication not working: endless cycles of asking for user/pass
- by bcmcfc
I'm trying to setup my SVN repository for access remotely. In doing so I have some settings under Apache's dav_svn.conf file.
When navigating to hostname/svn, or using Tortoise to do the same it prompts for the user name and password as expected. However, when entering the correct user name and pass that were set in the password file linked to under AuthUserFile it just asks for the credentials again.
I think I'm probably missing something simple? The server is running Ubuntu Server 9.10. Accessing SVN remotely does currently work if the authentication lines of dav_svn.conf are commented out.
These are the contents of the dav_svn.conf file:
<Location /svn>
DAV svn
SVNPath /home/svn/repo
AuthType Digest
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthDigestDomain /svn/
AuthUserFile /etc/svn_authfile
Require valid-user
</Location>
