SID-00607: Cannot login when accessing twiki through secured proxy

Hi,

I having a problem when I use my twiki behind a certain type of secured proxy. The twiki is working fine directly and is also working fine through a simple apache reverse proxy. This working proxy has the config setup like this

ProxyPass /twiki2 http://10.103.116.71/twiki2

ProxyPassReverse /twiki2 http://10.103.116.71/twiki2

However on the proxy that I need this to go through I also have authentication setup using deepnet, the config looks like

<Location />

AuthType Basic

AuthName "Please authenticate now"

AuthBasicProvider xradius

AuthXRadiusTimeout 15

AuthXRadiusAddServer "10.103.116.67:1812" "xxxxx" require valid-user </Location>

I have the same proxy config within this server

ProxyPass /twiki2 http://10.103.116.71/twiki2

ProxyPassReverse /twiki2 http://10.103.116.71/twiki2

and basic viewing works fine. However when I try to edit any topics the login screen just re-appears after I've entered my details.The are no errors in the logs although I do not see the POST request make it to the twiki log, just an immediate GET request for the login page.

I can only assume the behaviour I'm getting are due to the additional authentication. Any help in working round this would be appreciated.

Many thanks, Trev.
