Why nginx redirects after form submit?

Question

I have conf:

    location ~ ^/secret(.+) {
            rewrite ^/secret(.+)$ /phpmyadmin$1;
    }

    location /phpmyadmin {
            root /usr/share/;
            index index.php index.html index.htm;

            auth_basic "Auth";
            auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/pass/.pma;

            location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/(.+\.php)$ {
                    try_files $uri =404;
                    root /usr/share/;
                    include sites-available/common/php;
            }
            internal;
    }

After submit login form of phpmyadmin i've been redirected to mysite.com/phpmyadmin/index.php?token=... instead of mysite.com/secret/index.php?token.... Why does it behave this way?

For others, who will have the same problem.

Check PMA config for PmaAbsoluteUri. By default it equals to ''. If you have the default value - don't change it.
Feel difference between alias and rewrite. I changed my conf from rewrite to alias and now it works fine.
