Problem with Application Link and Basic Auth

[Alexey Astafyev]

Hi there

Background: Confluence instance with Application Link (to Jira) behind Nginx proxy with basic auth.

The problem is basic auth appears twice (or more) due known bug - CONFSERVER-58238.

Workaround (enabling anonymous access) isn't acceptable for us.

Is any another way to resolve it?

Thanks in advance

It seems to work with a such Nginx configuration:

satisfy any;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/white_ip.conf;
auth_basic "WIKI";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/conf.d/basic_auth.htpasswd;
deny all;

location / {

proxy_intercept_errors on;
error_page 401 =200 @bug;

proxy_pass http://confluence:8090;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Authorization "";
}

location @bug {
proxy_pass $scheme://$host$request_uri;
}
