Then only one of them can use HTTP authentication as there is only room for one login in HTTP. The other must use other means of authenticaiton such as cookie based login form etc.. As long as only one of the two is using HTTP authentication then there is no problem. Usually it is simplest to have the reverse proxy use HTTP authentication and the backend web server use cookie authentication but it is also possible (but requires quite a bit of work) to do it the other way around.
