Answer 1

I spent about 2 hours to resolve the same issue. But problem was in nginx. I have nginx as front web server and there was a line for proxy configuration:

proxy_set_header Authorization "";

It overrides Authorization field and apache don't receive login and password typed in.

I just commented out this line and it worked.
