3.3.3. Access via WebDAV protocol with SSL encryption (https://)
Accessing Subversion repository via WebDAV protocol with SSL encryption (https://) is similar to http:// except that you must install and configure the digital certificate in your Apache2 web server. To use SSL with Subversion add the above Apache2 configuration to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf.
For more information on setting up Apache2 with SSL see Section 1.3, “HTTPS Configuration” [p. 219].
You can install a digital certificate issued by a signing authority. Alternatively, you can install your own self- signed certificate.
This step assumes you have installed and configured a digital certificate in your Apache 2 web server. Now, to access the Subversion repository, please refer to the above section! The access methods are exactly the same, except the protocol. You must use https:// to access the Subversion repository.
