Hello,

I have strange behavior when I try to use auth_basic with proxy_pass.

Basically need to do auth_basic by Nginx and if it is passed proxy_pass to RabbitMQ management console.

Browser is asking for credentials on every request, every file js, css, png etc.... when I pass valid data, single resource is downloaded.

Is there any way so it asks first time and then remembers it?

My config looks like:

upstream rabbitmq {
server 127.0.0.1:15672;
}

server {
server_name rabbitmq.example.com;
location / {
auth_basic "restricted";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass_header Set-Cookie;
proxy_read_timeout 600;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_pass http://rabbitmq/;
}
}

Thanks for help,

Maciej

Try
proxy_pass http://rabbitmq;

Thanks, but already tried this. Still no result...

Then you must have another location block where authentication isn't used or the backend is also still expecting authentication.
Check the logfiles, nginx and backend.
