How to use Proxy Directive

Hi everyone,
please don't mind, I'm new into ISPConfig. I've searched a lot but didn't find a solution.

How can I use the "proxy_pass_header Authorization" possibility in the Proxy Directive?
I want to set up a proxy redirect with a simple user/password context, before redirecting.

I'm using ISPConfig 3.1 with nginx.

Thanks for your help,
Zapod

 

As far as I know, this in not implemented directly.
In ISPconfig, Sites -> Your Website -> Options, you can paste all the options you need in the nginx directive.

 

Thanks for your answer, Steini86,
but my question was "How", not "Wehre".

What I try to figure out is: what do I have to type in the Proxy-Directive Field, to get a username/password request, before the transparent proxy will show the target.

 

"proxy_pass_header Authorization" is used to pass an authorization header via the proxy from the service to the user. If I got this correctly:

then your service does not have an authorization, but you want to add one before the proxying happens?

Haven't tried it, but just set a password protected folder to / and then a proxy pass from / to your service?

 

Hi Steini86,
I think you got it correctly.
Don't know if that works but I'll give it a try if you or (someone else) can tell me how I "set a password protected folder to/"
With apache I can use the .htpasswd files but I'm using nginx.

 

Hi and thank you for your replies,

it didn't work so far. Here is what I've tried:

I used the folder protection feature to set a username and password to /
then I wrote the following in the proxy-directive:

Code:

location / {
 proxy_pass http://some.domain.tld/;
 proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
 proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
 proxy_set_header Host $host;
 proxy_buffering off;
}

and also tried also to just set the line "proxy_pass_header Authorization;" without the other stuff in the proxy-directives (without "location / {", etc), but there's no difference.

Any suggestions?

 

Do you get a useful log entry? I have no nginx to try, but in my understanding it should work.

What exactly "did not work"? Error message?
