The first call the the external_acl is to process unauthenticated requests.   Is the suggestion to replace

acl auth_users proxy_auth REQUIRED

with

http_access deny !auth_users

before the second external_acl (for authenticated requests)?


No. It is to ensure that "missing credentials" are treated differently than "bad credentials". Specifically that any auth challenge response is never able to be given "allow" permission.
