apache auth: combination of LDAP and htpasswd

We're using Apache with mod_svn to serve the subversion repo. Apache is hooked to an LDAP server so all users can use their domain passwords. For the build machine to be able to checkout, I want to have an extra user, but I can't add via LDAP.

Can I create a setup where the user/pwd has to match either the LDAP server or an htpasswd file?

• hi,

  try this:

  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "LDAP and file
  AuthBasicProvider file ldap
  AuthUserFile /path/to/htpassword/file
  AuthLDAPBindDN <your bind dn>
  AuthLDAPBindPassword <your password>
  AuthLDAPURL "<your ldap url>"
  AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
  Require valid-user
  

  Perhaps you switch AuthBasicProvider file ldap to AuthBasicProvider ldap file, depending on where you want to search first.

  noamtm : Thanks, I'll try this.

• Hi,

  currently experience occasional subversion client proxy error(timeout) by setting the authentication search to follow "AuthBasicProvider file ldap". Can advise whether there's any setup that we can verify to rectify this problem?

  thks
