Hi there, I have two separate web applications, each on a different Apache (2.2) server. A user first authenticates on *Server A* (either by Basic HTTP or LDAP) and gains access to the web application. At some point, the user has the option to launch the second web application on *Server B*.
The second web application requires REMOTE_USER to be set; it will not start without it. Therefore, I need the REMOTE_USER from *Server A* to be passed to *Server B*. I have explored two avenues: 1. Set-up a proxy using mod_proxy_http and leverage the proxy-chain-auth environment variable. 2. Passing REMOTE_USER via mod_rewrite and RewriteCond. Am I headed down the right track? What is the typical way of handling this situation? I have tried the following httpd.conf configuration on *Server A*, but it fails to retrieve any REMOTE_USER (which I am accessing via PHP): ProxyPass /test http://ServerB/ ProxyPassReverse /test http://ServerB/ SetEnv Proxy-Chain-Auth On I would appreciate any help!
