Hello, thanks to Eric Covener I got apache's reverse proxy working with basic htpasswd authentication. But now that it's working, I want to authenticate Apache against a mysql database with about 15 users. (I think I could write a script that syncs the database to the htpasswd file, but that is only my backup option). What I tried is: <Location /> AuthType Basic AuthName "Internal Proxy" # AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/htpasswd AuthMySQL on AuthMySQL_Authoritative on AuthMySQL_Host bender.unixhosts.org AuthMySQL_User www-ext AuthMySQL_Password password AuthMySQL_DB network AuthMySQL_Group_Table users AuthMySQL_Empty_Passwords off AuthMySQL_Encryption_Types MySQL Require valid-user ProxyPass http://int.unixhosts.org:8080/ ProxyPassReverse http://int.unixhosts.org:8080/ </Location> But it just doesn't work. Nothing in the logs. I am still pretty new to all this apache stuff, so please gimme a hint :) -- Thank you Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
