Hi @mueller-ma I answered you on github and closed the issue.
you had a good hunch about headers
copy pasting my answer here just if someone will search the forum:
I found:
Header set Set-Cookie "X-OPENHAB-AUTH-HEADER=1"
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8080/ /
Header add Authorization ""
RequestHeader set Authorization ""
I added these 4 lines - 2 before proxy pass and 2 after and everything works! even the tabs are visible now!
you can close the issue, thanks!
