Hi, Is it possible to pass custom auth headers to Serf from server, and have it pass them on for subsequent requests? I.e. hand it a custom token / cookie after the initial authentication.
I'm building a Subversion HTTPS server with SSO over Kerberos (Samba4 ADC), and our Windows client (SlikSVN) crashes mid-checkout on some repositories with mod_auth_kerb (auth_ntlm_winbind sort of works, but it's suboptimal for various reasons). I've written about the issue to SlickSVN developers, but since a fix might take a while, I'd like to set up a workaround. Since the first few Kerberos authenticated requests work, and the client crashes only later in the process, I was contemplating making the server pass a JWT token, a cookie or something like that, and having the client use that for authentication from there on. Is that sort of thing possible with Serf? As an alternative, I was thinking about creating a temporary repository URL with the credentials embedded in it URI, and redirecting the client there for the rest of the session. But I guess it's not possible to instruct SVN to use a different URL from the server. -Jarno
