Afternoon peoples. I'm having a little drama on a Debian/SPARC (Potato)
box with getting Apache to successfully authenticate when used in
conjunction with ProxyPassReverse.

The scenario works like this:

- users hit server-a

- server-a prompts for auth

- server-a then delivers proxy'd data from server-b as though it came
from server-a

Take out the auth and this is working fine. When auth is on however, it
prompts you forever (literally, it's just keeps prompting). When a
correct username/password combo is entered it just pops up another auth
window (no log entries - when you enter an incorrect username/password
is does log that though).

Below are my VirtualHost entries in the hope they shed some light:

<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
  ServerAdmin webmaster@domain
  DocumentRoot /var/www/server-a
  ServerName server-a
  SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache-ssl/virtual/server-a.pem
  ProxyPass / http://server-b/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://server-b/
  <Directory proxy:*>
    AuthName "server-b"
    AuthType Basic                        
    AuthUserFile /var/www/htpasswd.users
    Require valid-user                  
  </Directory>
  ErrorLog /var/log/apache-ssl/server-a-error.log
  TransferLog /var/log/apache-ssl/server-a-access.log
</VirtualHost>

Cheers,
      Craige,
