I use a feature in National Instruments LabVIEW called Remote Panel.
To publish these Remote Panels I have to run the National Instruments
Webserver.
Unfortunately this Webserver has no possibilities for user/password
authentification .
How can I use Xitami as a first Webserver for authentification and get
the content of the National Instruments Webserver ?
Thank you for help

It's possible, but not a good solution.
Once somebody knows the address+port of the NI webserver, he can bypass Xitami.

Other possibility is to bypass NI web ...
Point the main HTML directory to the directory hosting the files
(configuration/server/main HTML directory in the web admin).
You can use a network path (\\server\sharedDir) if Xitami runs as a normal 
user (=has access to the directory).
If both servers are on the same computer, one of them must listen to an 
alternate port, like 8080.
Check that your router is configured correctly to redirect all access to 
this port to the correct computer -most routers will drop packets to 
unexpected port numbers.
This will of course not work if the pages are dynamic, only if the pages 
are readily available somewhere.
cgi-bin is not possible without tweaking either.
