2017-sticker_peppercarrot_snowcamp2018_exportI’m one of the organisers of a developers’ conference here in Grenoble, France, the SnowCamp. The 3rd edition took place last week at Minatec. During 3 days, we hosted 10 University workshops, 40 presentations, 3 keynotes, and welcomed 375 attendees. And on the Saturday, we ran a smaller unconference with some of the speakers on the snowy slopes of Chamrousse, the closest ski resort to Grenoble.

It has been 4 very intense days, but I’m really happy with how smooth the event went, and I’m excited to help organising it again next year (no spoiler, but it should take place end of January 2019).

My photos of the event are on my Flickr account, but they are also aggregated with other photographers’ shots on the SnowCamp Flickr Album.

Subversion authorization through LDAP with OpenDS

Ludo1 Comment

If you building a centralized development environment for a team or large group of users, the question of centralizing user identities, authentication and authorization is always popping up and the answer is often to use an LDAP directory server. The developer section of the OpenDS documentation wiki has a set of tutorials for using the OpenDS LDAP directory server with various web servers and open source project like GlassFish, Apache Tomcat, SugarCRM… But not yet for Subversion. Thankfully, Wooter van Reeven, Senior Consultant at Yenlo has just published a long and detailed tutorial for setting up Subversion authentication and authorization through LDAP, with OpenDS and Apache2.

Update on March 18th.

Wooter has also posted a copy of the article on OpenDS documentation wiki.

I’ve also been aware of an older article on the subject of Subversion with Apache and LDAP by Jeremy Whitlock, engineer in the CollabNet Subversion team. This article contains more details on the Apache configuration parameters and snippets for both Apache 2.0 and Apache 2.2.
