Hello Matthias,
your described scenario does not appear on my machine. :-(
However, the "Require ssl" directive seems not to work with the 2.2.x branch, here, we still need the old "SSLRequireSSL". (On the other hand, it was intended to be used with the new version.)
Which version are you running?
I think the best solution for now is to disregard this patch. After the Core Update with 2.4.27 version was released, I'll give it another try.
Well, the update for Apache 2.4 is in next right now.
If there is any doubt on whether SSL is always enforced or not we should investigate as soon as possible. I don't think that we should wait too much longer with the entire update any ways, but this certainly delays it.
Best, -Michael
@All: Anybody against or in favor?

Hello Matthias,
tanks for reporting this. I am trying to reproduce here...

Hi Peter,
Please review this patch... (http://patchwork.ipfire.org/patch/1413/)
During testing I found that every machine in my GREEN net was suddenly able to login through https://%5BIPFIRE_GREEN_ADDRESS%5D:%5B444].
No question for admin-username, no password authentification request, nothing.
It seems as as if the Authentication Header is missing(?).
Only when I remove the "Require ssl" lines (I did this in both files), a browser restart leads to the usual login procedure.
Best, Matthias

Scenario: A MITM attacker might block all encrypted traffic to the firewall's web interface, making the administrator using an unencrypted connection (i.e. via port 81). Username and password can be easily logged in transit then.
