+package Apache::Authn::Redmine;
+
+=head1 Apache::Authn::Redmine
+
+Redmine - a mod_perl module to authenticate webdav subversion users
+against redmine database
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+This module allow anonymous users to browse public project and
+registred users to browse and commit their project. authentication is
+done on the redmine database.
+
+This method is far simpler than the one with pam_* and works with all
+database without an hassle but you need to have apache/mod_perl on the
+svn server.
+
+=head1 INSTALLATION
+
+For this to automagically work, you need to have a recent reposman.rb
+(after r860) and if you already use reposman, read the last section to
+migrate.
+
+Sorry ruby users but you need some perl modules, at least mod_perl2,
+DBI and DBD::mysql (or the DBD driver for you database as it should
+work on allmost all databases).
+
+On debian/ubuntu you must do :
+
+ aptitude install libapache-dbi-perl libapache2-mod-perl2 libdbd-mysql-perl
+
+=head1 CONFIGURATION
+
+ ## if the module isn't in your perl path
+ PerlRequire /usr/local/apache/Redmine.pm
+ ## else
+ # PerlModule Apache::Authn::Redmine
+
+ DAV svn
+ SVNParentPath "/var/svn"
+
+ AuthType Basic
+ AuthName redmine
+ Require valid-user
+
+ PerlAccessHandler Apache::Authn::Redmine::access_handler
+ PerlAuthenHandler Apache::Authn::Redmine::authen_handler
+
+ ## for mysql
+ PerlSetVar dsn DBI:mysql:database=databasename;host=my.db.server
+ ## for postgres
+ # PerlSetVar dsn DBI:Pg:dbname=databasename;host=my.db.server
+
+ PerlSetVar db_user redmine
+ PerlSetVar db_pass password
+
+
+To be able to browse repository inside redmine, you must add something
+like that :
+
+
+ DAV svn
+ SVNParentPath "/var/svn"
+ Order deny,allow
+ Deny from all
+ # only allow reading orders
+
+ Allow from redmine.server.ip
+
+
+
+and you will have to use this reposman.rb command line to create repository :
+
+ reposman.rb --redmine my.redmine.server --svn-dir /var/svn --owner www-data -u http://svn.server/svn-private/
+
+=head1 MIGRATION FROM OLDER RELEASES
+
+If you use an older reposman.rb (r860 or before), you need to change
+rights on repositories to allow the apache user to read and write
+S
+
+ sudo chown -R www-data /var/svn/*
+ sudo chmod -R u+w /var/svn/*
+
+And you need to upgrade at least reposman.rb (after r860).
