Nginx front-end to sharepoint

Server NGINX
1

Greetings,

I am attempting to replace squid 3.0 with nginx as a reverse proxy to a
sharepoint server with SSL and user-authentication. The problem I am
having is nginx does not appear to pass the credentials to the real
server w/o modifying them (after several failed attempts, once simply
gets access denied). I am able to accomplish this in squid with this
option: login=PASS

I’m wondering if anybody has any insight/experience into this issue. I
have included the relevant portions of my nginx.conf and my old
squid.conf. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

nginx.conf:

http {
server {
listen 443;
server_name 192.168.0.10;

     ssl                  on;
     ssl_certificate      /conf/nginx/cert.pem;
     ssl_certificate_key  /conf/nginx/key.pem;

     location / {
         proxy_pass https://192.168.0.1/;
     }
 }

}

squid.conf:

https_port 443 cert=/conf/squid/cert.pem key=/conf/squid/key.pem
cafile=/conf/squid/ca.pem vhost
cache_peer 192.168.0.1 parent 443 0 login=PASS no-query ssl proxy-only
originserver sslflags=DONT_VERIFY_PEER,DONT_VERIFY_DOMAIN

nginx should pass all headers as is.
Do you use Basic authentication ?

Yes, we are using Basic authentication.

Have no idea. Could create debug log with dummy username/password ?
