Authentication methods with a reverse proxy

This repository contains code examples of different means of authentication when multiples apps are behind a reverse-proxy.

It is meant to illustrate my blog post on authentication behind a proxy and assumes no control over the source code of the upstream apps.

Running the examples

Make sure that all the subdomains (*.localhost) redirects to the nginx server ip! Every *.localhost URL shoud send you to 127.0.0.1 by default but you may need to modify your /etc/hosts file to make this work.

Cache issues may arise between examples. If you enconter problem, clean your cache or try in a private browsing window.
