I don't have now access to the them, but errors logged at the standard
MapProxy log were that the layer was not found on the server. That is,
it seems credentials were not passed so GeoServer, as it is responding
as if the layer were not found.

I administer also the GeoServer (in fact they are both on the same
server) so I'll check the access logs of Apache/GeoServer to see if
credentials are passed but I'm almost sure they weren't passed.

I'm new on securing OGC services so for sure I'm missing something,
but well, at least from QGis and browser, authentication is working as
expected.

I'll check and come back as I get more details.

Thanks
