h2. Authentication for Mercurial activity
h3. Requirements
# *Clone/pull from repo for public project*: Any user, no authentication required
# *Clone/pull from repo for private project*: Permitted users only
# *Push to repo for public project*: Permitted users only
# *Push to repo for private project*: Permitted users only
What constitutes a permitted user?
* A user who is a member of the project?
* A user who is identified in the [web] section of the repository?
* A user who is both a member and identified in the [web] section?
* A user who is either a member or identified in the [web] section?
* A user who is identified in the [web] section, if any, or is a member if there is no such section?
h3. Techniques
* Apache authentication against Redmine user database using mod_auth_mysql (no support for LDAP-authenticated users?)
* Apache authentication against Redmine users using the mod_perl module Redmine.pm or a variant thereof (http://redmine.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/extra/svn/Redmine.pm -- designed for SVN access via WebDAV)?
* Hg repository [web]-section authorisation using hgwebdir.cgi (http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/PublishingRepositories#Setting_up_the_hgweb.cgi_script)
