Yes, use the ngx_headers_more module's more_set_input_headers
directive or ngx_proxy module's proxy_set_header directive in your
auth server's proxy location.

BTW, by default, the main request's headers will be forwarded to your
subrequest destination locations. If that's not what you want, use the
proxy_pass_request_headers directive to disable that:

    http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxHttpProxyModule#proxy_pass_request_headers

For now, setting subrequest headers from within Lua is not implemented
yet in ngx_lua. But it's on our TODO list :)
