I want to use LDAP authentication for svnserve, so I set up all the needed steps but not the last one: I need to put MECHANISMS="ldap" into the file /etc/default/saslauthd. But that file does not exist, so obviously SASL is not installed completely (some parts seem to be there, as sals2 directories do exist)?

What to do?

I found out where the problem comes from and how to fix it. It would be great if future releases of TKL would have this fixed right from the start:

SASL2 is only partially installed, but svnserve needs it complete. To make svnserve support SASL2, it must be completed manually using the following command:

apt-get install sasl2-bin libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-ldap

After that is done, the config file is where all the svn HOW-TOs tell: at /etc/default/saslauthd. :-)
