I have been looking around for quite a while now how to administrate our svn server over a gui or even better a webinterface. SVNMnager is the only tool i found so far. Browsing Sourceforge shows at least 10 products but none of them has created any files by now. Except SVNMananger. :) The only thing that is missing is an option to use active directory based authentication instead of the local files. Will this be implemented in the future?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This is beyond the scope of what SVNManager does.
In Subversion, authentication is the responsibility of either Apache (if you're using http: or https:), or svnserve (if you're using svn:)
If you're using Apache, you can configure Apache for AD authentication and just use SVNManager for maintaining the authorization data (access control lists) I did this at my previous employer, and it worked fine.
If you're using svnserve, it's my understanding that the Subversion developers are working on implementing support for SASL authentication modules, and I'm sure there's already some group or groups working on an AD SASL module.
There may even be a way to do this using svn+ssh: if you configure your server to use AD via LDAP for authentication.
Hope this helped.

We are using apache for ad authentication. It works quite ok. But the bad thing is that we always have to edit the file under sites-enabled to give users access. if this could be done over a webinterface it would be much better.

I am using svnmanager to manage accounts. Now, I want to use LDAP to authenticate user.
I tried to make it work, but it not.
Can you help me? This is my email: tuankhanh30071991@gmail.com
