You want basic auth on the back-end too? This is eerily similar to another post that came up today (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-users&m=111774805609033&w=2)... So it looks like that the Basic Authorization header which contains the credentials is not forwarded to the back-end under mod_proxy. I had a quick look at the docs but there doesn't seem to be ProxyPreserveBasicAuthorization directive (cf. ProxyPreserveHost) so it might not be possible. I also looked at RequestHeader which can be used to set a header on an incoming request before it's fully processed - I don't think that would help you either... Other ideas: - there's a way to send the credentials in the URL. You do: http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/resource so you could use mod_rewrite to build the creds into the back-end request from the header data. - do you really need authentication on the back-end route? Is it an internet route (as opposed to a LAN)?
