How to log into multi-user SVN?

I'm working in a small team, and we're new to SVN. We'd like to take advantage of SVN's abilities to merge changes from multiple people. My understanding is that this requires multiple SVN users. Is this correct, and if so, how do they access the repository?

I've read the page "Multi-User SVN - Setup Instructions," but I'm still unclear on how users log in. Currently, I'm able to connect to my repository by tunneling over SSH. But since we only have one Unix username, how would other users on my team connect?

We're using XP with TortoiseSVN (which, despite the problems I've heard about, is running fine for now).

Once everything is set up as in the thread "Multi-User SVN - Setup Instructions"..You can access the SVN repo via http.

(I.E) by using the URL http://svn.domain.com/svn/<reponame>

On accessing the above mentioned URL, you will be prompted for log-ins. (We set up the necessary vhost entries to prompt for log-ins)

You can set the necessary entries in the svn-access.conf file to provide necessary permissions for the svn users..

Also the 'svn-htpasswd' file has the necessary encrypted password entries for all the created svn users..
