As we can see Trac is a extremely powerful and flexible piece of software, but it is
one that tries hard not to be too constraining so that it can be adapted to the way that
we work rather than forcing us into its way of thinking.
Apache Web Server
The Apache web server (http://httpd.apache.org/) is an open-source web server
that runs on UNIX-style systems, Microsoft Windows, and other operating platforms,
and is released under the Apache license. It is commonly??”but incorrectly??”referred
to just as Apache, and we will do so here for the sake of brevity. It is by far the most
popular web server on the Internet, and is often the yardstick by which other web
servers are measured.
It provides many, many features, the majority of which we are going to ignore for the
purposes of implementing our solution. However one feature it provides is essential
to our needs.

Authentication
As we are going to be using Apache to provide access to Trac and Subversion,
then it makes sense to centralize our authentication here instead of maintaining
multiple systems.
There are many titles are already dedicated to documenting Apache and its
configuration, so, as for Subversion, this book will only provide us with the
information we need to implement and use it for our needs.
