Controlling subversion access

[Dennis Sinelnikov]

Dear fellow developers,   Here is what I’m trying to do in my httpd-ssl.conf:   <Perl> $client_dn = $ENV{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN}; $client_dn =~ /.*UID=(.*)$/; $client_uid = $1;     $Location{"/svnroot"} = {         DAV => 'svn',         SVNPath => '/home/svnroot',         SSLUserName => $client_uid,         AuthzSVNAccessFile => '/usr/local/apache2/conf/svnauthorization'         } </Perl>   Obviously, the above code is not quite right (otherwise I would not be emailing everyone ;) Basically, I’m trying to parse the UID off of the Client’s certificate DN and use it to set SSLUserName, so I can later use that uid in svnauthorization file to control read/write privileges of my subversion repository per user basis.  The reason why I need to parse UID off of the DN is because for some reason SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_UID is not getting set, but I see it in my log when I log the full DN (bug?).  If anyone had to do similar authorization using the client cert, please let me know and any suggestions are welcome.  Thanks much!
