Hi there,

I'm afraid I don't understand what you are asking.

I suspect that a translation to english chose the wrong possible meaning
of the word you are using?

Could you use more, or other, words to describe what you want?

If you mean: when a user talks to nginx, can nginx send a different http
Host: header to different upstream services, then "yes".

If you mean: when a user talks to nginx, can nginx send that user's http
Basic Authentication credentials, or "login" Cookie, to the upstream,
then "yes".

If you mean: the same, but nginx sends *another* user's credential, then
"maybe" (you can hard-code the http headers to send on every request).

Maybe your question is clear to someone else who can answer; but in case
not, if you re-ask with an example, you might get a better answer.

Thanks,
