Hi,
I have tried the above solution, but it is still not working.
I have monitored the log, and it shows that the user is logged in.
*2025-08-04 12:23:33,777: INFO pgadmin: Internal user
[email protected] <[email protected]> logged in.*
However, after logging in, the page appears blank.
In the browser’s *Network tab*, most requests return *200*, but about *3
requests return 401 Unauthorized*.

conf I'm using, this works when accessed on http, but when I access it on
https, it shows a blank page,
certificate is installed on the domain.
*location = /pgadmin4 { rewrite ^ /pgadmin4/; }location ^~ /pgadmin4/ {
proxy_pass http://unix:/tmp/pgadmin4.sock; proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For
$proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Script-Name
/pgadmin4/; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_read_timeout 300;
proxy_connect_timeout 60;}*
