We use htdigest authentication:

1. Log into svn.open-ils.org via SSH
2. Add the new user ID:

   cd /opt/trac/ILS-Contrib/conf
   htdigest trac.htpasswd ILS-Contrib username

   You will be prompted to enter a password for the new user.

3. Add the user / password combination to /opt/svn/ILS-Contrib/conf/passwd:

   user = password

4. Authorize the user to access the specific directory by editing /opt/svn/ILS-Contrib/conf/authz:

   [newgroup]
   user = rw

5. Create the new directory (you must have global write permissions for ILS-Contrib, currently only berick and dbs have that power):

   svn co svn://svn.open-ils.org/ILS-Contrib
   cd ILS-Contrib
   mkdir <directory>
   svn add <directory>
   svn ci <directory>

Hi <name>:

I've created a Subversion account for ILS-Contrib for you:

user: <username>
password: <password>

You now have read/write privileges on the following Subversion directory:

svn://svn.open-ils.org/ILS-Contrib/<directory>

I have also created a Trac account for you:

user: <username>
password: <password>

You can access the ILS-Contrib Trac instance at http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS-Contrib
- please log in to test your Trac account, create a page in the Trac wiki with a brief
description of your project, and link to that project page from the ILS-Contrib home page.
