Apache > order of events

[PedroLeite]

Hi all

got a question concerning apache web server

we have a couple of sites running in apache
these sites require ldap auth from our windows domain controller. it is working.

now my question is.
when the site is reached, a pop up asks for user name and password.
if i write a rewrite rule from http to https, what happens first ??
the rewrite rule and the the pop up or the pop up and then the rewrite ??

Thank you

I think the pop-up authentication would happen first. In order to get to the rewrite rule, a user would have to authenticate.

It should be pretty straightforward to test so that you can be sure.
