You don't need any LDAP credentials other than credentials supplied by
authenticating user.

        <IfModule authnz_ldap_module>
            Allow from all

            AuthName "Subversion repository"
            AuthType Basic
            AuthBasicProvider ldap

            AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on
            AuthLDAPURL ldap://127.0.0.1/ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com?uid
            AuthLDAPGroupAttribute memberUid
            AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN off

            # only developers may access the repository
            Require ldap-group cn=CVS,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
            Require ldap-attribute gidNumber=600
            Satisfy all

            # And they should obey to SVN user permissions file
            <IfModule authz_svn_module>
                AuthzSVNAccessFile "/wwwroot/.svn/.registry"
            </IfModule>
        </IfModule>
