Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/1016

Before I start: I tried using the designated subreddit for this, but I've been waiting a couple of days to gain permission to post to it now (why would it even be locked?), and it turns out the only moderator's account has been suspended, so I'm forced to go here instead.

So in theory, Nginx Proxy Manager is something I should really like, since those Nginx / apache conf files are just horrible to read, but I'm not having much luck with it. Both custom locations and the access lists aren't working properly for me

Custom locations
I want to map example.com/specialPath to a docker container, similar to doing

location /specialPath/ {
    proxy_pass          http://docker-container-hostname:port/;
    proxy_set_header    X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header    Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header    Connection "upgrade";
}

The configuration shown above works, both in my previously used nginx setup, and when I paste it in the input field that comes up when you hit the cogwheel on the custom location. Entering the following things for the custom location doesn't work though:

Location: (tried all of the following) specialPath /specialPath /specialPath/ /specialPath/*
Scheme: http
Forward hostname: docker-container-hostname
Forward port: port

Why doesn't this work?

Access lists
I also wanted to protect my pages with basic auth, so I created an access list, added it to the proxy host, and reloaded the website. The login prompt comes up as expected, but upon entering (absolutely 100% correct) credentials, it goes away and immediately pops back up again, basically keeping me in a "please sign in" loop, and never allowing me through. I don't see how I could have possibly messed this up, any suggestions?

Hello @Timmiej93 .
I am experiencing the same problem with the access lists. Always popping up again after entering the correct credentials.

Hmm, that's a bummer. Do you know if it's a fixable bug / if it will be addressed at some point?
Also, do you know anything about custom locations not working through the GUI?

I am actually not using Custom Locations, but still I have the same pop up bug with the access lists.

Only the authentication part. You're ignoring the fact that I also am having issues with custom locations.
