hi list,
i have an nginx infront of apaches, and the apacheshold a list of locations
with basic-auth.
i cannot pass the auth-request from the upstream through nginx to
the user, when i access the urls through nginx i get 403 Forbidden,
while direct access sends the correct 401 Authorization Required
back.
is there a simple way to passthrough the auth-request without
doing nginx basic-auth itself?
what i've done so far (in any variation)
location /authme {
...
proxy_pass_header Authorization;
more_set_headers -s 401 'WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="$host"';
more_set_input_headers 'Authorization: $http_authorization';
...
}
cheers,
mex
