In my Apache 2 config I have a VirtualHost which looks something like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>   ServerName sub.domain.com    # username:password sent on to endpoint   RequestHeader set Authorization 'Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=='    ProxyPass        /xyz http://192.168.1.253:8080/endpoint   ProxyPassReverse /xyz http://192.168.1.253:8080/endpoint    <Location /xyz>     # This needs to let users through under the following circumstances     #   * They are in 192.168.1.0/24     #   * They have a valid user in a htpasswd file      # So what goes here?   </Location> </VirtualHost>

I am using the virtual host as reverse proxy to another server (which I will call the endpoint) on the network.

I am trying to figure out a configuration that would allow users inside the network browsing to sub.domain.com to automatically be served the endpoint. However, users outside the network should be prompted for credentials

The endpoint requires a password which I have hidden by using RequestHeader (which I want). The password external users should be prompted by is DIFFERENT and will need to be BasicAuth, getting it’s user list from a htpasswd file.

  1. <Location /xyz>   # This needs to let users through under the following circumstances   #   * They are in 192.168.1.0/24   #   * They have a valid user in a htpasswd file

    Right out of http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#satisfy:

      Require valid-user   Order allow,deny   Allow from 192.168.1   Satisfy any

    Of course, you also need to include your AuthUserFile or whatever directives

      AuthType basic   AuthName 'yadayadayada'   AuthUserFile /foo/bar/blah/.htpasswd </Location>
