Cookie/Session Expired - OWA SSL Reverse Proxy

Hi.

Trying to configure a reverse proxy to allow external access to an outlook
web access server. I am able to route traffic through the NGINX to the OWA
server, present the web page, and place the username & pw into the form. 
OWA rejects valid username/pwd's with a: "Your session has timed out...."
error.

Looking through my custom log files, somehow the session ID and the expired
values are munged in the GET & POST process through the proxy.  There may be
a simple fix that I'm not able to find.  Any suggestions will be
appreciated!
