Using Shibboleth for Authorization and Authentication to the Subversion Version Control Repository System

A version control repository structure has been created based on open source utility software. The structure consists of a subversion repository with an Apache Web interface that is protected by a Shibboleth authentication system. This structure can allow authorized and authenticated data sharing between institutions, yet retains simplicity and protects privacy for users. In addition, it also helps local administrators from having to perform extra account management for new users from other institutions
