Hello,
You could also consider Kerberos authentication. Then svn clients then
do not have to store a local password and as a bonus you get a single
signon. The svn clients uses the kerberos ticket which is created when
logging in to the kerberos server.
I did not try this myself (I had some problems getting the whole
kerberos+ldap etc etc authentication working at all with all kind of
clients), and I don't know if all svn clients are kerberos capable.
I found this URL for a working unix svn client:
https://svn.cse.ucdavis.edu/trac/UCDPloneSkin/wiki/UsingKerberosToAccessSvn
and this one for a not working tortoise client:
http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-08/1224.shtml
succes, Wessel

Hello everybody,
I'm wondering if it is possible for a user to have multiple password
stored in ldap.
For instance, I store accounts for my users in ldap and want
them to access
- unix servers using ssh
- svn repositories (using apache/webdav)
For unix servers and ssh, no problem, one could bind ldap with pam and
this use case is well documented.
Apache (and thus svn) also can be bound to pam. However, many svn
client store user password in clear in some text file, which a serious
security risk for my unix server. Thus I would prefer to have a
separate password for svn.
Is it possible in a standard way ? (How) can I store an additional in
my ldap schema ?
Is such use case documented somewhere ?
Thanks a lot for any help,
Sebastien Barthelemy.
PS: I'm a beginner here, all I know about ldap is the book LDAP system
administration, so please excuse me if my question is naive, and don't
hesitate to redirect me to the good documentation.
