I have downloaded VisualSVN Server, version 5.1.1. In the left panel there is only Repositories and Jobs. I want to add new users for learing and testing purposes. However I can’t see any settings to do so. I currently dont have a licence. Is this the main reason? If not, how can I enable Users and Groups folders or how can I reach to related settings? Keep in mind that I’m a completely newbie to this application. Any help is appreciated, thanks
I have tried to find related settings in autentication properties but I got confused and bogged down. I have tried to open the application as Administrator, still couldn’t find or make sense of settings.
I also tried to find subversion authentication settings which is normally in the main page.
>Solution :
In the MMC snap-in, you should have a Users option down the left hand side of the tree. However, on the main Visual SVN page, you have various options, one of which should be Subversion Authentication. You can also add users and groups using the options here also (see below, for a screen shot of my SVN Server). Regarding the license, that shouldn’t be an issue, as long as your requirement fits withing the "Community" licensing requirements.
If you don’t see options to Create Users / Groups, use the Configure Authentication Options and set the Authentication Mode to Subversion Authentication. This will allow subversion to authenticate users based on a list that is setup within the server itself. Hope that Helps.
