Kerberos for Subversion

Hi,

Kerberos isn't specifically built into SVN, it's handled by the carrier
protocol, which is usually SSH or HTTP. Depending on what you're using,
you'll need to setup Kerberos in OpenSSH or your webserver.

OpenSSH already has Kerberos/GSSAPI support. In most cases, it's a
matter of turning it on.

If you are using HTTP and the Apache webserver, there's a module called
mod_auth_kerb that does Kerberos authentication for you.

Cheers,
Edward
