svnserve.conf(5)	      File Formats Manual	      svnserve.conf(5)

NAME
       svnserve.conf - Repository configuration	file for svnserve

SYNOPSIS
       repository-path/conf/svnserve.conf

DESCRIPTION
       svnserve.conf  controls	the  behavior of the svnserve daemon on	a per-
       repository basis.  It is	located	in the conf subdirectory of the	repos-
       itory.

       The overall structure of	the file is the	same as	the structure of  Sub-
       version user configuration files.  At the top level are sections, which
       are  specified  by  words  in  square brackets; inside each section are
       variable	definitions of the form	"variable = value".   Lines  beginning
       with  '#'  are  ignored.	 svnserve.conf currently uses only one section
       named "general",	and supports the following variables:

       anon-access = none|read|write
	    Determines the access level	for unauthenticated users.  write  ac-
	    cess allows	all repository operations.  read access	allows all op-
	    erations except committing and changing revision properties.  none
	    access allows no access.  The default level	is read.

       auth-access = none|read|write
	    Determines	the  access  level  for	authenticated users, using the
	    same access	levels as above.  The default level is write.

       password-db = filename
	    Sets the location of the password database.	 filename may be rela-
	    tive to the	repository conf	directory.  There is no	default	value.
	    The	password database has the same overall format  as  this	 file.
	    It uses only one section "users"; each variable within the section
	    is a username, and each value is a password.

       authz-db	= path
	    The	 authz-db  option  controls  the location of the authorization
	    rules for path-based access	control.  path may be relative to  the
	    repository	conf directory.	 path may be a repository relative URL
	    (^/) or absolute file:// URL to a text file	in a Subversion	repos-
	    itory.  There is no	default	value.	If you don't specify an	authz-
	    db,	no path-based access control is	done.

       realm = realm-name
	    Sets the authentication realm of the repository.  If two reposito-
	    ries have the same password	database, they should  have  the  same
	    realm,  and	 vice  versa; this association allows clients to use a
	    single cached password  for	 several  repositories.	  The  default
	    realm value	is the repository's uuid.

EXAMPLE
       The  following  example	svnserve.conf allows read access for authenti-
       cated users, no access for anonymous users, points to a passwd database
       in the same directory, and defines a realm name.

	[general]
	anon-access = none
	auth-access = read
	password-db = passwd
	realm =	My First Repository

       The file	"passwd" would look like:

	[users]
	joeuser	= joepassword
	jayrandom = randomjay
