Accessing Windows Admin Center behind nginx

Question

Has anyone successfully put windows admin center behind nginx reverse-proxy? I'm not sure if it is possible would like some guidance if it is.

Answer 1

This is possible, but requires NGINX-PLUS (Paid/Commercial) to gain access to the "ntlm_auth" function.

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#ntlm

Caddy seems to be the best option at the moment, but they are lacking documentation. I have started a thread. It may be possible to use Caddy + NGinx, but as I haven't gotten Caddy Working yet... I can't confirm.

Answer 2

upstream wac.mydomain.com {
        server 10.10.100.199:443;
        keepalive 16;
}

server {
        listen 443 ssl;
        server_name wac.*;

        ssl_certificate           /ssl/cert.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key       /ssl/cert.key;

       location / {
           proxy_pass https://wac.mydomain.com;
           proxy_http_version 1.1;
           proxy_set_header Connection "";
       }

}
