Describe the bug

I have a web application and an authentication provider running in docker compose with nginx proxy manager. Im trying to add authentication, such that any atempt to access the web appplication is redirected via a sub-request to /auth endpoint of the authentication provider.

The custom config is being attached to the web app in advanced settings of the proxy host.

nginx custom conf:

auth_request    /auth;
auth_request_set $auth_status $upstream_status;

location = /auth {
  internal;
  proxy_pass              {endpoint/auth};
  proxy_pass_request_body off;
  proxy_set_header        Content-Length "";
}

Nginx Proxy Manager Version

v2.9.2

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add above config to proxy host.
2. Navigate to proxy host.
3. Error

Expected behavior

If not authenticated, redirect to authentication provider login page. If authenticated, display proxy host.

Screenshots

Operating System

Docker on Ubuntu 18.04

Additional context

Similar on a new setup made just today... seems like basic auth does not prompt the user at all? Even when not trying to do custom redirecting stuff? Possibly related? https://github.com/jc21/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/637

@LiamKarlMitchell Yeah the prompt does not come up at all, just goes straight to the web page.

This should not have anything to do with access list.
