Problem with logging in to Apex administration

Question

Please disregard the question, it was mistake in the address.
When I try to log in to Apex administration (http://<server>:8080/apex_admin, I get a dialog box requiring
a user name and password
The dialog box has Windows security in the header and says:
The server <server> at XDB requires a username and password.
Fields for username and password are provided.
It's not clear to me what this message refers to, XDB database schema or Apex or system. I tried all combinations but without success.
Logging in to application administration (http://<server>:8080/apex) works without problems.
Apex is running on Oracle 11.1.
This behavior was first encountered on Windows 7, but the same happens if I log in to the server (running Windows XP) via remote desktop and use localhost as the server name.
Has anyone experienced this?

Hello Sin K,
so proxy and Tomcat are located on different machines as well? Is the proxy able to commuicate with the Tomcat on the configured internal ports and is the proxy able to lookup the hostname you configured for the Tomcat?
For the connector, the proxyName and proxyPort should be the parameters the client uses to call APEX. So if your clients should call via http://proxyserver:8080/testsin/apex the settings would be
proxyName=proxyserver
proxyPort=8080Reason for this is that applications (e.g. the APEX Listener) generate there URL references with these parameters.
But does your proxy actually serve on port 8080? And is that port accessible by clients? Do clients accept cookies from that server?
In my case, there is only one 302 which redirects to http://host:port/apex/f?p=4500:1000:sessionid which is correct.
If you look into your first post request in firebug, what's in the request header?
