this question explains how to setup LDAP authentication for git.

Now, is it possible for git-svn script to somehow pass the LDAP authentication token to SVN, which is also using LDAP-backed authentication?

What I would like to achieve is when a git user pushes to git-svn repository (authenticating via LDAP), it automatically commits the change to SVN using the same authentication data.

I don't have access to SVN server-side configuration (would be possible, but it is not trivial).

Our current setup uses git user.name and git-svn server stored passwords to authenticate to SVN, but that is troublesome due to the corporate password change policy (users need to update passwords manually, which they keep forgetting about).

  • `git-svn` repositories should not be receiving pushes. Even if you could get the authentication working, pushing to an `svn` server from a remote `git` repository isn't likely to be reliable anyway. – qqx Dec 08 '12 at 01:47
  • @qqx read my question again - we are using such a setup already with no problems, the only thing missing is seamless LDAP authentication – Adam Adamaszek Dec 09 '12 at 11:58
  • Just because you haven't had any problems so far doesn't mean that it's not a bad idea and won't have problems eventually. – qqx Dec 09 '12 at 16:23
  • Can you please be more specific, other than "it's not possible"? – Adam Adamaszek Dec 10 '12 at 08:18
