What if you get error 500 when you disable anonymous authentication? When I push I get that error.

http auth: user brad, password ************
sending: 0 kb
sending: 0 kb
abort: HTTP Error 500: Permission denied

The credentials work when browsing the repository website. Pushing works when anonymous is turned on, but then you don't need a password to browse the website either.

Ben, I'm looking to limit push using active directory groups. Any more information you come across on that would be appreciated.

What about limiting the http verbs to certain types of user in the web.config. So for example allow GET to all and POST to developers?

From my (limited) understanding of the way things work, sadly I couldn't see a way to assign push access to Active Directory groups. The executable (CGI) doesn't [didn't at time of writing] seem to respect the AD privileges when it comes to writing to the directories. If you've got access to read/execute the CGI, then you've got access to write to the repository as long as the hgweb.config file is configured to allow your username to push.

If you find a solution for this, I would dearly love to hear from you because I would certainly prefer to have it set up that way.

Cheers and good luck!

Really nice article Ben!
In Step 3, did you look into the possibility of assigning push access to AD groups instead of individual users? That would make it a lot easier to manage when the number of repositories grows.
