Combining proxy_pass and auth_basic leads to infinite loading

I have a little problem with proxy_pass and auth_basic combining in the same location. I use nginx as reverse-proxy for Bluemap (https://bluemap.bluecolored.de/) I and want to enable http authentification.

My current configuration:

location /map/ {
    
        auth_basic "Restricted Area";
        auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/auth/htpasswd;
    
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

        proxy_pass http://172.18.0.1:8100/;

}

But with auth_basic I always getting infinite loading loop for the <domain>/map page.

  • htpasswd file exist.
  • It seems working if I use auth_basic without proxy_pass.
  • Also there are no errors in /var/log/nginx/error.log.

Any ideas?

Solution

  • Google Chrome just has weird behaviour and doesn't show authentication popup until it's been restarted.
