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@xxxxxxx 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 -- Steffen Wieschalla, stw@xxxxxx Tel: +49 711 90074-418 Fax: +49 711 90074-33 http://www.LF.net/ LF.net Netzwerksysteme GmbH Ruppmannstr. 27 70565 Stuttgart (Germany) Handelsregister Stuttgart: HRB 18189 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Norman Fuerst, Rodney Volz --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
