SVN Repo works without authentication

Question

I have created SVN host using:

<Location /svn>
     DAV svn
     SVNParentPath /home/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/Main_Folder/company-1
     AuthType Basic
     SVNListParentPath On

     AuthName "Test"

     <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
        Require valid-user
     </LimitExcept>
  </Location>`

Although I have specified user privileges in svnserve.conf, it does not seem to "take it" because I can access the repository (see below) without any prompt for user/password.

Can you please point what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Read the docs, it seems that you use a wrong configuration file.

Configuration settings in the file svnserve.conf do not have any effect in this particular case. Your server runs Apache and Apache does not process svnserve.conf. This configuration file is used by svnserve custom server only.
