How to fix subversion password config?

I want every time someone wants to check out a project from SVN, he will be asked to enter credentials. This happens when someone tries to accomplish something, but not when placing an order. Here is the svnserve.conf section:

[general] anon-access = none auth-access = write password-db = passwd

I figured that by setting anon-access none, this would ask for a username and password, but this does not seem to be happening. How can i fix this? What do i need to change?

You must install

 auth-access = rw

the statement is not recorded, it is only readable. If you want your credentials to enter your credentials at the checkout, you must make the reading also authenticated.

 auth-access = rw

didn't work for me. As mentioned in a comment by @Tempus, I had to do this:

 auth-access = read auth-access = write

As far as I know, you cannot guarantee that every access will prompt the user with a password, since clients usually cache the password. Or do you want read access to be password protected regardless of client caching?
