You have the nginx config to send a cookie from the auth_request server
to the fastcgi upstream, I think.

The same config pattern should work for anything else returned.

(set a variable based on what "auth" returns, then send that as a
fastcgi_param.)

The nginx conf should match what you already have; the rest is
presumably according to the http or fastcgi specs (there should be
nothing nginx-specific about it).

Return it as a http response header, just like you would for a Set-Cookie:.
