I am trying to authenticate users through Apache using the form authentication method to restrict https requests to a certain folder. Although, regardless of whether the correct login details are provided it keeps reloading the same page except the url has the form values embedded in it instead of redirecting to the appropriate page. I need to use the form authentication type instead of basic so I can write my own html for the user to login. I am using Apache 2.4.9 and this is our current configuration. Apache config file

<Location C:/wamp/www/directory>
    SetHandler form-login-handler
    AuthFormLoginRequiredLocation https://localNetwork.com/username/TestBed/HTML/login.html
    AuthFormLoginSuccessLocation https://localNetwork.com/username/TestBed/HTML/test.html
    AuthFormProvider file
    AuthUserFile "C:/wamp/passwords"
    AuthType form
    AuthName realm
    Session On
    SessionCookieName session path=/
    SessionCryptoPassphrase secret
</Location>

And in the login html page I've added that for the user to login

<form method="POST" action="/test.html">
        User: <input type="text" name="httpd_username" value="" />
        Pass: <input type="password" name="httpd_password" value="" />
        <input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" />
</form>
