Stephen Connolly / HowTo: CentOS 5, Apache 2.2, Subversion 1.5 with ActiveDirectory Authentication

Here’s my step by step:Install CentOS 5.2Configure Network and Proxies as neededI usually create a login script: /etc/profile.d/login.sh as follows:function set_proxies() { local s PROXY_ADDR=“http://proxy.example.com:8000/" for s in HTTP HTTPS FTP GOPHER NEWSPOST NEWSREPLY\ NEWS NNTP SNEWSPOST SNEWSREPLY SNEWS\ WAIS FINGER CSO; do export ${s}_PROXY=${PROXY_ADDR} done for s in http https ftp; do export ${s}_proxy=${PROXY_ADDR} done}set_proxiesI installed from the DVD, so yum update to ensure everything is up-to-date.Get my mod_authn_sasl rpm:wget http://www.one-dash.com/blog/mod_authn_sasl-1.0.2-3.i386.rpmInstall it (this should pull down the):yum –nogpgcheck localinstall mod_authn_sasl-1.0.2-3.i386.rpmGet my sasl-magic-config script:wget http://www.one-dash.com/blog/system-saslauthd-active-directory-config.shdos2unix system-saslauthd-active-directory-config.shRun the script:sh system-saslauthd-active-directory-config.sh example.comChange the security level:system-config-securitylevel-tuiSet SELinux to Permissive, Customize and enable WWW and Secure WWW on the firewallCreate the sasl2 configuration for apache:echo “pwcheck_method:saslauthd” > /usr/lib/sasl2/apache-httpd.confNow we need to install Subversion 1.5.2:wget http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/1.5.2/rhel-5/i386/subversion-1.5.2-1.i386.rpmwget http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/1.5.2/rhel-5/i386/neon-0.27.2-1.i386.rpmwget http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/1.5.2/rhel-5/i386/mod_dav_svn-1.5.2-1.i386.rpmyum install perl-URIrpm -i neon-0.27.2-1.i386.rpm rpm -i subversion-1.5.2-1.i386.rpmrpm -i mod_dav_svn-1.5.2-1.i386.rpmNext modify the apache conf file for our subversion repositories: /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf# Needed to do Subversion Apache server.LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so# Only needed if you decide to do “per-directory” access control.#LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so<Location /svn> DAV svn SVNParentPath /var/www/svn # Limit write permission to list of valid users. # Require SSL connection for password protection. # SSLRequireSSL AuthType Basic AuthName “EXAMPLE” AuthBasicProvider sasl AuthSaslPwcheckMethod saslauthd auxprop AuthSaslAppname apache-httpd AuthSaslRealm example Require valid-user Next, create the subversion projects root and restart Apache:mkdir /var/www/svnchown -R apache.apache /var/www/svnservice httpd restartAt this point you can now create a test repository:svnadmin create /var/www/svn/testchown -R apache.apache /var/www/svn/testLet’s test if subversion is working:svn info http://localhost/svn/testsvn mkdir –username myWindowsUsername –message “a test commit” http://localhost/svn/test/trunkAt this point we should have subversion up and running.
