svn+ssh possible?

Submitted by M-G on Wed, 10/24/2007 - 2:47pm.

Just downloaded the Trac JumpBox today. I see that I'll have to register it to unlock ssh access. Once that's done, will users created on the box be able to use svn+ssh to access the repository, or will it still be restricted to http? For security reasons, I really need to be able to have people authenticate via ssh.

svn+ssh possible?

This may be possible but wont be convenient. The Trac WebAdmin plugin manages users for both Trac and SVN with a typical apache htpasswd file and svn+ssh would authenticate against the UNIX password/shadow files. You may be able to come up with a way to sync the two, but I suspect it might require modifying the WebAdmin plugin, or you might be able to use PAM to make SSH authenticate against the same htpasswd file.

I think, in short, No. Unless you are up for an adventure.
