Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Subversion Wiki" for change notification.
The "InRepoAuthz" page has been changed by BenReser: http://wiki.apache.org/subversion/InRepoAuthz?action=diff&rev1=6&rev2=7 One obvious question is the security of the Authz file once it is stored within the repository. This would be left up to the user to implement via the Authz file themselves. Appropriate documentation would be written. In the case of an Authz file being committed that prevented all access to a repository it could be repaired with ra_local since Authz is not applicable there. + Another common question is what happens if you commit and Authz file that disallows access to everyone. RA local access `file://` does not implement authz. So an admin with access to the filesystem that the repository can commit a fixed authz file. + === Performance === Until this is implemented on an experimental branch performance will not be clear. However, in the case where the Authz file is in the same repo as the repo which it is protecting we should be able to use the repository connection for both retrieving the Authz file and the actions of the client, which should minimize the overhead. Server side caches will also aid with performance and if the data is already cached in memory should result in similar performance to a file system hosted Authz file which would likely be cached by the OS in memory.
