> I have an app that I run that distinguishes between users by appending a cgi variable to the end of a URL, so I setup a .htaccess file in the root of my web directories (/var/www/html) as follows:

> RewriteRule ^foo/(.*)$ some/really/long/url/$1?tenant_filter=2 [L]
> RewriteRule ^bar/(.*)$ some/really/long/url/$1?tenant_filter=1 [L]

> This works really great. Clients type in http://myserver.mydomain.com/foo/file.html and the URL magically points them at http://myserver.mydomain.com/some/really/long/url/file.html?tenant_filter=2 while all they see is the http://myserver.mydomain.com/foo/file.html.

Two things you need to look into.
First, doing this in a .htaccess file rather than in the main server configuration file increases the complexity. You should move these rules into the server config.
Second, authentication happens too late to try to do Rewrite based on it. You have to use the %{LA-U:variable} syntax to do a peek-ahead. See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html for more details on how to do that.
