Because we use contractors at work, I needed a setup where the security is global but at the same time based on project by project basis. Therefore trac uses a global .htaccess and svn uses the authz file for authentication. At the moment this is working greate. To set up a new trac project is simply a case of creating the project, copying a base projects database and config file and then editing the new project’s config file.

We use a base project that is configured for all our core developers, which means im not adding the same permissions and groups all the time.

How I configured it:

apache svn config:

<Location /projects/test2>
 DAV svn
 # Set this to the path to your repository
 SVNPath /var/svn/test2
 AuthType Basic
 AuthName "Test2 Project"
 AuthUserFile /var/trac/.htpasswd
 AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/svn/authz
 Require valid-user
</Location></pre>
<strong>apache trac config:</strong>
<pre><VirtualHost *:80>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond /var/trac/$1 -d
RewriteRule ^/([^/.]+)(/?.*) /trac.cgi$2 [S=1,E=TRAC_ENV:/var/trac/$1]

ServerAdmin tim@domain.com
ServerName trac.domain.com

DocumentRoot /usr/share/trac/cgi-bin/
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

<Directory /usr/share/trac/cgi-bin/>
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews ExecCGI
  AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  allow from all
</Directory>

Alias /trac "/usr/share/trac/htdocs"

<Location />
 SetEnv TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR "/var/trac"
 SetEnv PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /var/trac/egg_cache
<Location>

DirectoryIndex trac.cgi
 ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.trac.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.trac.log combined
</VirtualHost>

The above configuration means that all users are in one file, and can be controlled globally. Below are the plugins which i have installed and consider very helpful.
