Hi Steve,


nothing on server logs, and as it works fine with firefox, and on SVN on Win32 clients, and not SVN + Linux it seems like a Neon related somewhere. Here is output of Neon Debug 130

You should check if you have a 'guest' account enabled on the server. The error message from Subversion 'authorization failed' indicates that the *authentication* worked, but the authenticated user isn't authorized to access the repository. If you have user 'guest' (or something similar) enabled, then authentication will always succeed with that user, but I doubt you gave that user access to the repositories.

its a linux server. Repo access permissions are 770 and chown to Apache:Apache hence no guest is possible anyways.

If you can fix the issue by disabling that user account, you should also report this on the Subversion dev list. I've tried to urge them to implement something to disable automatic authentication (which is possible in neon0.26 now, thanks Joe btw :), but somehow I got the feeling they don't see that as a big problem. It should at least be possible to fall back to basic authentication in such cases.

no, this is not the problem here. Allow me to quote from original message

config is
   AuthType Kerberos
   KrbAuthRealms MY.REALM
   KrbMethodNegotiate on
   KrbMethodK5Passwd off
   Krb5Keytab keytab_file
   require valid-user


Problem goes away when i set "KrbMethodK5passwd on" as then it falls to Basic Authentication. So SVN is falling to basic authentication on linux when it is unable to use Negotiate Auth. Problem is how to make it recognise that their is a proper and valid Krb5 ticket for the account and it should use it for Negotiate Auth instead just like Firefox does.

yes, i indeed posted to SVN mailing list too, and no response, and i guess it seems more of a neon related issue specific to linux(?).

regards
