Passing Authorization Basic Headers Along in Proxy

reverse-proxy apache-2.2 http-headers authorization

6,855

It was a mod rewrite thing

RewriteRule ^ - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

The above rule needs to be applied at the proxy.

I am currently trying to get a reverse/forward proxy to pass along the authorization headers to the target server. How would I go abou this? I have already looked at the below sources, and one of the comments states that this only works for Proxy-Auth headers. However the proxy has no authenication backend. It looks like the below

User -> Proxy(No Auth Req) -> Backend(HTTP AUTH HERE)

I'm having the same issue. Can you post here how was the file in the end so I can have an idea what exactly you did to solve that? Thanks

@Adonist This just went on your proxy server. With RewriteEngine on. That is all. It's just one rule in your apache conf for that specific proxy site.
