Issue
We have default install of subversion running on redhat.
I've created a repository and added some users in a "passwd" file and updated "svnserve.conf" to point to this.
Now I want to allow these new users to connect from a remote netbeans installation (using the built-in svnkit).
I can only connect using the ssh username/password, but I want to connect with the new accounts I've added (as explained above).
currently, I've tried: svn+ssh://myhost/path/to/repo and (svn://myuser@myhost/path/to/repo) - and as explained, only the ssh accounts work.
So do I need to create proper linux accounts for all users? if so, then whats the point of the svnserve.conf options to setup users?
Any ideas?
Solution
The answer was to split the username and password out of the repository URL as follows:
Repository URL: svn://myhost/repo User: myusername Password: mypassword
Note: It didn't take 2 years to solve this. I just hadn't noticed the I had left to question open that long and wanted to close it off.
