Nick-
Thanks
Here is a sample from the logs:
10.x.x.254 - - [08/Nov/2010:14:27:50 -0500] "GET
/app/environment/EdiImportService HTTP/1.1" 500 532
The back end owns the user database and prompts for basic authentication. It
seems like the Apache in the middle doesn't know how to pass that basic auth to
the user:
Works: [BackEnd]{Basic Auth}<---FireFox(OnApacheServer)
Fails: [BackEnd]{Basic
Auth}<---[ModProxyOnApacheServer]<-----FireFox(On External Client)
How do I turn on Authentication with "<location>", will it then handle the
request for authentication from the back end and pass it to the end user? ...I
do NOT want to manage users on the Apache Server.

If you want the proxy to authenticate, just configure authentication within
a <Location> for the reverse proxy. If the backend is authenticating, the
proxy has nothing to do.
