Subversion server can be running on either Windows or Linux platform as both have good support to apache web server. One of the benefit for windows version of apache is, by default, most of the modules are already included when intially installed,so that we can avoid the hassle to re-configure, re-build apache from source. Note that apache2.2 has compatibility issue with Subversion, so make sure you are using apache 2.0.x.

Two required apache modules are mod_auth_ldap.so and util_ldap.so, if u want per-repo authZ control, then mod_authz_svn.so will be required, which needs be copied from SVN installation directory together with mod_dav_so.

Make sure you have modified your httpd.conf so that all these modules are loaded.

Before test Subversion against AD, it's critical to make sure your AD works well as a LDAP server. Simply use any OpenLDAP client to test it, if using ldapsearch, type:

ldapsearch -h hostname_of_AD_server -x -b "OU=SVN,OU=Accounts,DC=ms,DC=oerc,DC
=ox,DC=ac,DC=uk" -D "CN=powergridSVN,OU=SVN,OU=Accounts,DC=ms,DC=oerc,DC=ox,DC=a
c,DC=uk" -W

After the AD is verified, it's time to setup SVN to authenticate against with AD.
For the directory you want to protect with AD authentication, add following:

DAV svn
SVNPath d:/SVN/repositories/test
AuthzSVNAccessFile "d:/SVN/config/svn-access.conf"
AuthLDAPURL ldap://hostname:389/OU=SVN,OU=Accounts,DC=ms,DC=oerc,DC=ox,DC=ac,DC=uk?sAMAccountName?sub?(ObjectClass=user)
AuthLDAPBindDN CN=powergridSVN,OU=SVN,OU=Accounts,DC=ms,DC=ox,DC=ac,DC=uk
AuthLDAPBindPassword xxxxxxxxx
AuthType Basic
AuthName "xxxxx"

Require valid-user
