All,

Sorry if this is a n00b question, but I can’t seem to find an answer.

Is there a way to link the Subversion/svn user password with the Mingle user password?

I’ve installed Mingle indirectly as part of a Buildix install on Xubuntu 8.04.1. I’ve created a new project based on the Agile project template. So far so good.

I’ve entered the SVN user ID in the User Settings, and I’ve connected SVN enough that the HEAD revision shows up when I click on the project’s Source tab.

I did see the pages about linking Mingle with LDAP and CAS, but that’s pretty heavyweight for what I’m looking for. I’ve got a nice Buildix box, and I’d like to keep everything local to that machine. Even better would be if everything could be administered through the Buildix/Mingle webpages…

I’ll keep poking around and I’ll post anything I come up with here, but I’m hoping someone else has been down this path before.

-Mark

Greetings…

At the moment there is no way to link the svn authentication info with Mingle. The problem is that Buildix and SVN use the same Apache password file for its users, but Mingle has its own custom user database.

As you correctly pointed out, you could set up an LDAP server and use that for both. The hardest part there then would be managing the users…
