-1 Noah, please consider other use cases, I'm trying to create a system that can do what the OP requested without the overhead you're assuming because, in my case, the participants span several organizations with incompatible infrastructures. The result is that I would very much like to grant SVN access based on those that create Trac ID creds. LDAP Auth is looking to be the best(only?) bridge between the two. Alternatives - we currently are adding unneeded layers such as forcing users to register via jabber to populate the LDAP - sorta busts up the browser centricness of the experience but then it adds some too. I understand that in most cases Trac is just a consumer of credentials, but there are cases where Trac is all there is to the institutional layer. --Ed --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
