[users@httpd] mod_proxy and basic authentication
Hi,
my used httpd is Apache 1.3.37 under Solaris 10 (Sparc).
I want to configure it to be a proxy for another system but the access
must be limited with a method like basic authentication.
My current configuration looks like this:
[snip]
<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
ServerAdmin admin@foo.net
DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/
ServerName www.foo.net
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html
SetEnv PERLROOT /usr/local/Perl5
SetEnv PERLLIB /usr/local/Perl5/lib:
ProxyPass / http://5.6.7.8/
ProxyPassReverse / http://5.6.7.8/
<Directory />
AuthType Basic
AuthName Demo-Access
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/apache-authorization
Require valid-user
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
[snap]
Without the "ProxyPass*" lines I'll get the basic auth request. With the
"ProxyPass*" lines it delivers the content of http://5.6.7.8/ without
prompting for a login/password.
It seems that the apache completely ignores the authentication if the
requested url matches the proxy directives.
Can someone give me a hint to solve this problem, please?
Thanks in advance :)
Steffen

Since your request never accesses any directory on the proxy server,
<Directory> blocks are not applied. Try <Location /> instead.
