ProxyPass Prompting for Username and Password

Question

In my secure apache2 site file, I have

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>    
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.1:443
SSLStrictSNIVHostCheck off
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.1:443>

...

ProxyPass /subdirectory http://another.site/anotherdir/
ProxyPass /subdirectory/ http://another.site/anotherdir/

<Location /anotherdir/>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Location>

</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

When my users hit the proxypass, they are prompted for an apache username and password. How can I bypass the apache username and password? What am I doing wrong?

I am using apache authentication in different subdirectories (https://192.168.1.1/sub) but the proxypass target isn't — divided, Oct 20 '15 at 14:58

Try adding RequestHeader unset Authorization to your config before the ProxyPass lines.

That seems to work. Will this affect my apache-protected subdirectories? – divided Oct 20 '15 at 15:02
Did you test those protected subdirs? – bentek Oct 20 '15 at 15:19
I did but I just want to be extra sure. The protected subs prompted me for a username and password – divided Oct 20 '15 at 15:39
Great. Then your config should be good now. – bentek Oct 20 '15 at 15:43
