Proxied URL basic auth redirect path

So, say I have a proxied url whatever.com that actually is proxied to show content from whatever.mydomain.com. whatever.mydomain.com then has a basic auth directory

<Directory /var/www/html/stuffs/internal>
      AuthType Basic
        AuthName "mumbo-jumbo"
        AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
        Require valid-user
    </Directory>

When the user hits whatever.com/internalthe login form is displayed, but after logging in, they get sent to whatever.mydomain.com/internalfor the content. How could I keep it so that after the login, the user is sent to the proxy url aswell? Or atleast make it seem so to the end user?

It can we solved by putting RewriteRule after Directory.

<Directory />
  AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Restricted Files"
    AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
    Require valid-user
</Directory>
RewriteCond %{LA-U:REQUEST_URI} !^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://whatever.mydomain.com/$1   [P,L]
