redirect to subversion project after authorization

  • 772

I am trying to figure out how to have apache redirect to a subversion repository after the requested URL is authorized for a user. After trying a lot of combinations the best result I can get is ave apache to redirect to target SVN repo folder as a web directory rather than the folder as a subversion repository.

The authorization steps work as expected, approving or denying the user, but then the redirect fails with Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/svn/svnRepo1/,

Folder set up /home/svn/svnRepo1 << the repo is working via myurl.com/svnRepo1 as expected /home/userA/myurl.com/protected

NB: the myurl.com/protected/svnRepo1 web folder does not exist

in the url conf files I have

svn.conf

    <Location /svn>
     DAV svn
     SVNParentPath /home/svn
    </Location>

in the url.conf I have 

 <Location /protected/svnRepo1>
            AuthType openid-connect
            #Require valid-user
            Require claim folders:svnRepo1
  </Location> 
  Alias /protected/svnRepo1 /home/svn/svnRepo1

Lastly I would like to make the directives so a user can NOT access the repo directly by myurl.com/svnRepo1 as this would bypass the authorization process.

Thx Art

  1. It seems to me that this would be a more direct approach:

    <Location /svn>
  DAV svn
  SVNParentPath /home/svn
</Location>

<Location /svn/svnRepo1>
  AuthType openid-connect
  Require claim folders:svnRepo1
</Location>

    avoiding the need for the Alias directive.

    But anyway, as for your problem error message Directory index forbidden by Options directive, all you should need to fix that is to add Options +Indexes within one or more of the <Location> directives.
