HAProxy doesn't generate a 401 Unauthorized, the Nexus backend is. You can clearly see that at the end of your debug logs. > What's interesting is that when using traditional apache httpd in-place > of the Nexus YUM repo I can get it to work as shown below. Thats because the culprit is in your backend. Of course the problem goes away when use a different one. > Is there any rewrite or cookie session rules I can implement in HAProxy > to compensate for this? No. The proxy can't fix application problems. Move HAProxy out of the picture and connect directly to your backend. You will see the same behavior. Regards, Lukas
