Answer from kolbyjack suggesting to add

```
proxy_ignore_headers Set-Cookie;

```

is likely correct as long as your backend actually sends  
Set-Cookie header.

If it doesn’t fix your problem, please provide full config and  
debug log. See here [GitHub - nginxinc/nginx-wiki: ARCHIVED -- Source for the now archived NGINX Wiki section of https://www.nginx.com · GitHub](http://wiki.nginx.org/Debugging) for more  
details.
