    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:15672/api/$1/%2F/$2?$query_string;
    allow all;
}

When asking for assistance, it helps people if you provide complete configuration files rather than just a snippet as you have done.

This is a complete configuration that redirects localhost:8888/rabbitmq to the management server running on port 15672. I have tested it with nginx 1.14.0 and RabbitMQ 3.7.6. I am only prompted to log in once. I ran it as my normal user with this command:

nginx -p /home/lbakken/issues/SO/rabbitmq-nginx-config-48881248 -c nginx.conf

user                 lbakken lbakken;
worker_processes     1;
# Note: for debugging, very useful
# error_log            /dev/stderr debug;
error_log            /dev/stderr;
pid                  nginx.pid;
worker_rlimit_nofile 1024;
daemon               off;

events {
    worker_connections 1024;
}

http {
    client_body_temp_path /tmp/nginx;
    fastcgi_temp_path     /tmp/nginx;
    scgi_temp_path        /tmp/nginx;
    uwsgi_temp_path       /tmp/nginx;
    proxy_temp_path       /tmp/nginx;
    access_log            /dev/stdout;

    upstream rabbitmq {
        least_conn;
        server localhost:15672 weight=10 max_fails=3 fail_timeout=30s;
    }

    server {
        listen                          8888;
        server_name                     127.0.0.1;

            proxy_pass http://rabbitmq$uri;
