How to configure Zabbix with reverse proxy and HTTP authentication

[jose1711]

Hello,

I placed Caddy server in front of a Zabbix instance, configured to add an authorization to headers so that it passes Admin credentials (user appears logged in all the time):

# zabbix default Admin credentials
header_up Authorization Basic QWRtaW46emFiYml4

Zabbix is configured to allow HTTP authentication and yet when vising https://zabbix.domain.com/index_http.php I am given and error message "You are not logged in - Login name or password is incorrect.".

Is there something I am missing?

Thank you,
jose

Not sure if this is the best solution but I simply added the parameter to Nginx configuration, i. e.:

#/etc/nginx/conf.d/nginx.conf
..
   location ~ .php$ {
    ..
    fastcgi_param  REMOTE_USER      Admin;
