Topic: Unable to Proxy to a Sharepoint Directory using mod_proxy

[buntyray]

I am having an issues with a link in share point which is like


http://<actual-url>/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllPages.aspx

This %20 resolves to a black space and to avoid issues the url is appeneded with %20


Unable to map this directory in httpd.conf file like below

ProxyPass /Shared Documents/Forms/ http://<actual-url>/SharedDocuments/Forms/

ProxyPassReverse /Shared Documents/Forms/ http://<actual-url>/SharedDocuments/Forms/

I get the below error message
Syntax error on line 1882 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid ProxyPass|ProxyPassMatch parameter. Parameter must be in the form 'key=value'.

You can put the urls into quotes (") so that you can use white space in the url. I think it should work that way. Plase give it a trial.

ProxyPass /Shared Documents/Forms/ "http://<actual-url>/SharedDocuments/Forms/"

ProxyPassReverse /Shared Documents/Forms/ "http://<actual-url>/SharedDocuments/Forms/"

Is this correct way.

I tried using the following syntax, but this resulted in recursive authentication demand and even after giving correct credentials it did not work.

ProxyPass "/Shared Documents/Forms/" "http://<actual-url>/Shared Documents/Forms/"

ProxyPassReverse "/Shared Documents/Forms/" "http://<actual-url>/Shared Documents/Forms/"

In IIS you need to set the Auth method to from the share point page to Standard auth and not the integraded Windows Auth, unless you use mod_sspi (apache 2.2 on windows) or mod_authn_ntlm (apache 2.4 on windows) or mod_auth_kerb (apache 2.2 on linux). All these 3 modules work only with Internet Explorer.
So I think the basic auth is the best choise.

Hi,

In ISS for the Site we have the following Autentication enabled for the below Sites

SharePoint -80
SharePoint Central Administration v4
SharePoint Webservices

1. Windows Authenticatiomn
2. ASP.Net Impersonation

The Repteated Authentication Prompt is only coming for the links which resolves to URL's containing %20 it it. I have also been discussing the same issue in SharePoint Forum.
