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
