My setup is Apache 2.x and mod_perl 2.x and AuthCookie(Apache-AuthCookie-3.12). I have been able to do a cookie based authentication with a (hardcoded) user-name and password (of course from the sample files and configurations) and on authentication success have been able to proxy the request to another URL.The question is how do I send the username and password parameters to the proxied URL?
My httpd.conf PerlRequire /var/www/html/Sample/startup.pl PerlModule Sample::AuthCookieHandler PerlSetVar SamplePath / PerlSetVar SampleLoginScript /login.pl PerlSetVar AuthCookieDebug 3 <Location /protected> AuthType Sample::AuthCookieHandler AuthName Sample PerlAuthenHandler Sample::AuthCookieHandler->authenticate PerlAuthzHandler Sample::AuthCookieHandler->authorize require valid-user </Location> <FilesMatch "\.pl$"> SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry Options +ExecCGI AuthType Sample::AuthCookieHandler AuthName Sample </FilesMatch> # This is the action of the login.pl script above. <Files LOGIN> AuthType Sample::AuthCookieHandler AuthName Sample SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler Sample::AuthCookieHandler->login </Files> ProxyRequests Off ProxyPass /protected http://192.168.1.3:9999 ProxyPassReverse /protected http://192.168.1.3:9999 I want to do something like ProxyPassReverse /protected http://192.168.1.3:9999?username=<from input username>&password=<from input password> As suggested in the thread, it could be possible using mod_rewrite, but I am not able to get the rewrite rule to work in the first place.
