Websvn Authentication DS212+

[KingXs]

Hello,

I am pretty new to Synology Diskstation and got a problem in setting up authentication for the DiskStation 212+.
I got SVN up and running and I even managed to get WebSVN to running after hours of reading through guides and Google(were some steps I somehow didn't understand at first)

Now my problem is that I don't want random people accessing WebSVN.
If I got this right then WebSVN is able to use the passwd as an database for logging into WebSVN with an authentication.
I read about using .htaccess with htpasswd(generated by a generator) but this doesn't seem to fit in the idea of using the existing SVN userdatabase stored in passwd.

My setup is /volume1/svn/project/ for the svn and /volume1/web/websvn/ for the website.

In /volume1/svn/project/conf/authz is where I can use restriction for the svn users.
In /volume1/web/websvn/include/config.php contains the settings for websvn

I am also not very sure which settings to add, for the moment I have

Code: Select all

$config->setSVNCommandPath('/opt/bin/');

for accessing svn

Code: Select all

$config->addRepository('Project','file:///volume1/svn/project/');

here I am not sure if I should take the remote version of this command as I forwarded my ports on my router to access
my NAS outside my home-network.

Code: Select all

//$config->parentPath('/volume1/svn');

this one I am not sure again if I need to put this or not

Code: Select all

$config->useAuthenticationFile('/volume1/svn/project/conf/authz');

and here, if I got this right then I have to use the authz file as authentication file

When accessing Websvn with only this I get an error saying
Unable to read authentication file "/volume1/svn/project/conf/authz"

I am really confused, I am writing this at 5 in the morning because I was trying for 4 hours already to understand this but I simply couldn't proceed anymore and therefor I arrived here hoping for some help regarding this problem.
Someone who can explain me where I did wrong in my thinking or what steps I missed would be really nice.

I'm stuck with the same problem.

in case this is still an issue...
i've solved this by placing the folder of the authz file in the open_basedir paths (in php.ini):
in my case, this links to the user-setting.ini config file.
edit it with
sudo vi /usr/syno/etc/php/user-setting.ini
by adding the path of the folder containing the authz file after all the existing ones.
