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.
