Thread-topic: Adding Authorization header at before proxying request

Hello List

I have a tricky situation where I need to proxy request to an old apache 1.3 which uses basic auth from a OAM SSO enabled apache v2.2.

The remote_user variable & the header get set correctly on Apache 2.2, but before it proxies the request it should add an Authorization header with base 64 encoded remote_user in it (so it gets authenticated on apache 1.3). I tried to see if any existing module allows this kind of thing but couldn’t find one.

Please help with your ideas!
