Granting SVN access to external users

Description: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch06s03.html

1. Get the public ssh key of the user.
2. Append the public ssh key to /home/svn/.ssh/authorized_keys.
3. Insert

   command="svnserve -r /home/svn/repos -t --tunnel-user=<user>",no-port-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty

   before the key. Now the user can only execute the SVN command, and any other command will be ignored.

MySQL

• MySQL is running on elk
• For applications, allow access only from localhost
• Log in

  mysql -u root -p

# create a user
CREATE USER <user> IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';

# create a db

Create a DB

CREATE DATABASE <dbname>;
 
 # Grant full access on DB to user 
 GRANT ALL ON <dbname>.* TO <user>@<where>
 # Example: Grant full access to user testwiki from localhost
 GRANT ALL ON testwiki.* TO testwiki@localhost;

 # Revoke access
 REVOKE ALL ON testwiki.* FROM testwiki;
