Hi all,
has anyone already tried the "Junp to page" feature of the release 1.9.0
behind an Apache server?
When I type the page name, I'm asked for authentication again and again.
Here is my apache config:
<Location /xwiki>
SSLRequireSSL
AuthType Basic
AuthName "xwiki is a restricted area."
AuthUserFile E:\Programme\xampp\apache\etc\passwd
Require valid-user
ProxyPass ajp://127.0.0.1:8019/xwiki
ProxyPassReverse ajp://127.0.0.1:8019/xwiki
</Location>
My XWiki installation:
XWiki 1.9.0
MySQL 5
Tomcat 5.0.28
Thanks a lot,
Marco

This is caused by the fact that the REST service doesn't handle basic
authentication.

Unfortunately, yes (unless there is an other way to secure a web
application?).
The xwiki acts as an intranet application that needs to be accessed from
"outside".

Actually it's correct.
REST supports basic authentication. The problem is that it uses the
credentials provided in the authorization header to authenticate the
XWiki users, and if authentication fails it challenges the client with
a 403 forbidden header (that's why the browser keeps opening the auth
dialog again and again)
What happens, in this case, is that the username:password provided to
bypass .htaccess is also used to authenticate the xwiki and this, of
course, fails.
We were discussing of it yesterday and a solution would be to fallback
to cookie authentication if the basic auth fails.
