Hi,
I'm trying to setup Nginx to do reverse proxy but I'm struggling to make the X-PACK authentication work.
My infrastruture is composed by HTTPS load balancer + NGINX + Kibana.
I'm currently accessing my Kibana by IP and authenticating using X-PACK. I only want to "hide" it behing NGINX keeping all my URL under the same server.
Any Kibana URL tries to login first but ends in this error message
```auto
{ [Error] request: {}, response: {}, body: '404404 Not Found', name: 'Error', req: {}, res: {} }
Version: 7.10.1
Build: 36063
Error

```
I already tried different configurations (Kibana and NGINX) with no sucess.
That is my last config:
```auto
location / {
proxy_read_timeout 900s;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto http;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://kibanaIPandportupstream;
}
```
kibana.yml
```auto
server.port: 5601
server.host: "0.0.0.0"
elasticsearch.hosts: ["http://xxx.xxx.xxx:9200"]
elasticsearch.username: "kibana_system"
elasticsearch.password: "changeme"
elasticsearch.requestHeadersWhitelist: [es-security-runas-user, authorization]
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.requestHeadersWhitelist: [es-security-runas-user, authorization]
```

It looks like you are not setting the `server.basePath` setting or any of the other settings that Kibana provides specifically for use with reverse proxies: [Configure Kibana | Kibana Guide [7.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/settings.html)
I found some relevant and helpful information in this other thread: [Nginx reverse proxy setup for Kibana](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/nginx-reverse-proxy-setup-for-kibana/167327)
Here's a user who has a working config with basePath: [Nginx reverse proxy with rewrite and app/kibana#/discover](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/nginx-reverse-proxy-with-rewrite-and-app-kibana-discover/198461)

Thanks for replying,
In the end we decided to have a go with Elastic Cloud which made our setup way simpler and easier.
