Good stuff.

Ah, with hindsight, I think I understand what happened.

https://github.com/nginxinc/nginx-ldap-auth/blob/master/nginx-ldap-auth.conf

shows the backend as both handling /login and providing the common
response, while the ldap-auth daemon is separate.

And the login service issues a redirect itself.

In your case, I guess that the /login-equivalent (if it exists) is *not*
on the same server as the backend common content -- so "proxy_pass
http://backend/;" there becomes "proxy_pass http://windows-server/;"
in your case.

And hopefully the part with the # in the client-side url Just Works for
you too.

Glad you got it working,
