Thanks for clarifying that.

Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reverse proxing through apache where backend server 
users cookie authentication


Hi Guys,
 
I am trying to use apache as my reverse proxy for my backend server which uses 
Cookie based authentication.
 
I am using mod_rewrite for the proxing part and am able to come till the login 
page.
But am unable to login to the system. 
I suspect that it has something to do with the cookies not being reverse 
proxied or something.
 
I am using Apache 2..0.54 on a windows XP system.
 
Can anyone please tell me what probably could be the issue with my 
configuration?
 
Regards,
Rajiv.
