We have resolved the issue in the following way:

```
server {
	listen 443;
	server_name localhost;
	ssl on;
	ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.key;
	ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:1m;
	ssl_session_timeout 5m;
	ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
	ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;

	location / {
	     proxy_set_header X-Found-Cluster XXXXXX;
         proxy_set_header Host $host;
         proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
         proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
         proxy_set_header Authorization "Basic YYYYYY";
         proxy_pass https://XXXXXX.eu-west-1.aws.found.io;
     }
}

```

Where XXXXXX is the cluster ID and YYYYYY is the string "username:password" encoded in base64.  
Thank to everyone for the support  
Bye
