VisualSVN Server + Trac authentication issues
I have Trac installed on my VisualSVN server (using Subversion authentication), however every time I go to the Trac homepage after opening the browser I get a basic validation dialog asking me for a username / password. I would like to have a Trac login form that will allow me to login permanently using cookies.
I tried installing the AccountManagerPlugin, but I'm completely unsure how to set it up correctly. (I am used to working with IIS on corporate intranets, so this is foreign to me)
I was able to bypass the basic authentication dialog by setting this in my httpd-custom.conf:
AuthName "Trac"
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile "E:/Repositories/htpasswd"
#Require valid-user
I tried to use SvnServePasswordStore as my password store, but I don't know which of the files in the repository directory should point it.
Help would be appreciated!

I think I figured it out.
First, in httpd-custom.conf, I commented out the line:
Require valid-user
Then I set up a repository for the AccountManagerPlugin to use the HtPasswdStore that I specified in Trac.ini in the htpasswd file at the root of the repository.
I'm not sure if I can manage users in Trac, but I will be using VisualSVN to manage users, so hopefully this shouldn't be a problem.
