Add Users for authenticated Access

• Edit the file /svnrepos/conf/svnserve.conf and un-comment the following line to use the default password file for user authentication:

 password-db = passwd

• Edit the password file /svnrepos/conf/passwd to add user and password (Check the file permission for local security)

Start the Server Daemon

• Configure subversion server to start at runlevel 3 and 5

chkconfig --level 35 svnserve on

• To start subversion server right away

service svnserve start
