Hello all. I'm using Apache's latest version (1.3.14) and it seems I hit a wall someone has met before me. Basically the problem is as follows: - I have a reverse proxy that works just fine thanks to ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse. Let's call him "rproxy". He "hides" a http server, I'll call "server". - when I ask for authentication on a resource located on "server" (using either Location or Directory in the httpd.conf file of "rproxy"), "rproxy" sends a PROXY auth to the client. I would expect a HTTP auth request... Problem is that I want the PROXY to authenticate the user, not the back-end server. This problem has been identified and patched in a previous release (mail from Graham Leggett ([EMAIL PROTECTED], but unfortunately the address is not valid anymore), Date: Tue May 04 1999 - 04:49:47 EDT) ans is mentionned in http://perl.apache.org/guide/scenario.html#HTTP_Authentication_With_Two_Ser. The latest document claims that "In the configuration file your Auth configuration directives need to be inside the <Directory ...> ... </Directory> sections because if you use the section <Location ...> ... </Location> the proxy server will take the authentication information for itself and not pass it on. " But I've tried <Directory>, <Location (dirname)>, <Location (urlname)> with very limited success... Has someone managed to make this work? Thanks in advance... #################################################################### Jean-Pierre Morant Office: +32 (0)2 2996751 Mobile: +32 (0)478 201505 Fax: +32 (0)2 296085 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] #include <std.disclaimer.h> #define MOTTO "La vie serait tellement plus belle si seulement nous avions les sources!" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
