Ruckus SmartZone (vSZ) through an Nginx reverse proxy

Quick Note:

If you ever get around and happend to push a Ruckus (now CommScope) Virtual SmartZone (vSZ) Access Point controller WebUi through an Nginx reverse proxy, use ‘‘add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;’’. Otherwise, all you get is a blank proxy page after logging in…
