Reverse-proxy/rewrite for Perspective with Nginx, stuck on "Authenticating..."

Hi sorry to comment on an old post,

I noticed that it looks like you are redirecting with this line
rewrite ^/dashboards$ /data/perspective/client/DashboardProject permanent;
so that the url is effectively shorter

If that is right, did that work out for you? I tried to do this and eventually gave up because it was giving me problems.
