>Description:
Using the following directives:

<Directory proxy:*>
AuthType Basic
AuthName Authorised Proxy Users Only
AuthUserfile /somefile
require valid-user
</Directory>

Authorisation is requested, I type in my user name and password and then I am told authorisation failed.

However, changing proxy:* to a local file, authorisation works fine.

I've checked and double-checked that I am typing the correct password every time.

I want to be able to restrict access to the proxy to only selected users, and I can't.
