The server allows both NTLM and Basic (multiple WWW-Authenticate headers are transmitted). The client insists on using NTLM if it's available which doesn't work properly in a reverse proxy setup (at least as far as I understand it). If I remove the NTLM header, the client falls back to Basic and all works correctly. The client is BIS (Blackberry) so unfortunately I can't change its behavior. :) Ray --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
