NAME

       svnserve.conf - Repository configuration file for svnserve

SYNOPSIS

       repository-path/conf/svnserve.conf

DESCRIPTION

       svnserve.conf  controls  the behavior of the svnserve daemon on a per-repository basis.  It is located in
       the conf subdirectory of the repository.

       The overall structure of the file is the same as the structure of Subversion  user  configuration  files.
       At  the  top level are sections, which are specified by words in square brackets; inside each section are
       variable  definitions  of  the  form  "variable  =  value".   Lines  beginning  with  '#'  are   ignored.
       svnserve.conf currently uses only one section named "general", and supports the following variables:

       anon-access = none|read|write
            Determines  the  access  level  for  unauthenticated  users.   write  access  allows  all repository
            operations.  read access allows all operations except committing and changing  revision  properties.
            none access allows no access.  The default level is read.

       auth-access = none|read|write
            Determines  the  access  level  for authenticated users, using the same access levels as above.  The
            default level is write.

       password-db = filename
            Sets the location of the password database.   filename  may  be  relative  to  the  repository  conf
            directory.   There  is  no default value.  The password database has the same overall format as this
            file.  It uses only one section "users"; each variable within the section is a  username,  and  each
            value is a password.

       authz-db = path
            The  authz-db option controls the location of the authorization rules for path-based access control.
            path may be relative to the repository conf directory.  path may be a repository relative  URL  (^/)
            or  absolute  file:// URL to a text file in a Subversion repository.  There is no default value.  If
            you don't specify an authz-db, no path-based access control is done.

       realm = realm-name
            Sets the authentication realm of the  repository.   If  two  repositories  have  the  same  password
            database,  they should have the same realm, and vice versa; this association allows clients to use a
            single cached password for several repositories.  The default realm value is the repository's uuid.

EXAMPLE

       The following example svnserve.conf allows read access for authenticated users, no access  for  anonymous
       users, points to a passwd database in the same directory, and defines a realm name.

        [general]
        anon-access = none
        auth-access = read
        password-db = passwd
        realm = My First Repository

       The file "passwd" would look like:

        [users]
        joeuser = joepassword
        jayrandom = randomjay
