I followed the document for setting up the SVN with Apache [section 3 but not using SSL right now], I can access the "test" repository when I don't enable security settings such as Require user in the httpd.conf. After adding the security settings in the httpd.conf, it prompt for user credentials, though I am giving the right user and password (harry/harryssecret) it is not working.

Httpd.conf

<Location /svn>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
 DAV svn
 SVNParentPath /u01/svn/repositories/
# Access control policy
 AuthzSVNAccessFile /u01/svn/conf/users-access-file
 Satisfy Any
 Require valid-user
 AuthType Basic
 AuthName "Veera Subversion repository"
 AuthUserFile /u01/svn/conf/passwd
</Location>

file path

[svn@mercury conf]$ pwd
/u01/svn/conf
[svn@mercury conf]$ ls
passwd  users-access-file

[svn@mercury conf]$ cat passwd
veera = test
[users]
 harry = harryssecret
 sally = sallyssecret
[svn@mercury conf]$ cat users-access-file
[/]
*=
harry=w
[test:/]
harry=w

error.log from httpd

The AuthUserFile should be an Apache password file, created using the htpasswd binary.

You have given Apache a Subversion password file and it doesn't contain any valid user/password combinations in the appropriate format for Apache.
