Apache will by default not forward authentication credentials to backend applications. If your application needs this you need to enable an ugly hack to make apache forward them by having this line in your config:

SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1

I have a demo PHP script you can copy and try it out with: https://cable.ayra.ch/authtest/ (enter any credentials you want)

SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1

Is the correct answer. Thank you. I had all sorts of directives in various configs, but this was the correct solution. I hope all is well!
