Other Can svnlite be used with SASL?

No it can’t. Subversion utilizes the Cyrus SASL library which is not part of the base system. Since I need SVN with SASL as well, I build devel/subversion from the ports with the respective option enabled.

See the output of the --version information below. In the second case, the ra_svn module can be used with SASL authentication. Yet this info is only half of the truth, because ra_svn can also be configured to do transport encryption using SASL, and by this it is not necessary to setup a web server for providing encrypted access to our SVN repositories.
