Thanks a lot for your answer. Could you give me more information about your
configuration ? (You apache config for that would be a great help). Indeed,
if you succeed with BasicAuth, there's no problem switching to LDAP.

Also, could you explain me how you "serve" bzr over Apache ?

Thanks a lot, your information is invaluable for me !   I really thing that
it's currently a great missing point in the Bzr documentation/Community :
the server administrator point of view, the one who will not use bzr to
develop but will provide tools for developers.
