Hey all, Here's what I'm trying to achieve. I have a tomcat application deployed on another server and have configured apache to proxy to it using mod_jk. Works great. So, if I go to http://huskar/ apache reads through, does some rewrites and sends me to http://huskar/clearspace/index.jspa (which is actually http://luna:8080/clearspace/index.jspa) Now, I want apache to do some simple authentication. I downloaded and loaded mod_auth, created a htpasswd file, and put in the following configuration.. (ignore, or pay attention to, the commented stuff... I was trying a bunch of different things). I read online that location should be used when you're protecting a url and not a actual filesystem on the apache host.. Once this is enabled, it does prompt me to login, and I login, but then it forwards me to a blank page(the redirect works), so I end up at http://huskar/clearspace/index.jspa, but it seems like it stops responding. However, if I do... http://huskar/clearspace/admin (the admin page) it authenticates me(if I close my browser) and redirects me fine... which is really bizarre. If I disable authentication, both work. Below is my location statements, as well as the redirects I have in place.. Any help is most appreciated. <Location /clearspace/> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None # AllowOverride FileInfo Indexes AuthConfig # Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec AuthName "restricted stuff" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/2.0.63/conf/htpasswd require valid-user # <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND> # Order allow,deny # Allow from all # </Limit> # <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND> # Order deny,allow # Deny from all # </LimitExcept> </Location> RewriteEngine On # Redirect to correct hostname RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !huskar\.bedford\.progress\.com RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://huskar.bedford.progress.com$1 # Load ClearSpace by default RewriteRule ^/$ /clearspace/index.jspa [R=301,L] and for fun... my jk statements.
