I have found out that this bug exists only when using authentication to protect resources using ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse. When I add the following code, referencing the same password file as the proxied resources, the www-authentication works just fine:
<Location /manual>
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from none
AuthName "login for manuals"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/htdocs/passwd
Require valid-user
satisfy all
</Location>
Again, the authuserfile is the same one referenced in the following:
<Directory proxy:*>
order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from none
AuthName "need to login"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/htdocs/passwd
Require valid-user
satisfy all
</Directory>
ProxyPass /virtual1/ http://www.collegis.com/virtual1/
ProxyPassReverse /virtual1/ http://www.collegis.com/virtual1/
ProxyPass /virtual1 http://www.collegis.com/virtual1/
ProxyPassReverse /virtual1 http://www.collegis.com/virtual1
ProxyPass /virtual2/ http://www.collegis.com/virtual2/
ProxyPassReverse /virtual2/ http://www.collegis.com/virtual2/
ProxyPass /virtual2 http://www.collegis.com/virtual2/
ProxyPassReverse /virtual2 htthttp://www.collegis.com/virtual2
But authentication only works for the /manual location. The proxy location
(/virtual1 or /virtual2) prompts for authentication, but does not properly
authenticate. To test:
Go to http://ra.lab.collegis.com/manual and use username test1 password
test2.
Then go to http://ra.lab.collegis.com/virtual1 and use the same username /
password.
