The Nginx user authentication configuration method details the of domain name and directory

Nginx can add user authentication to a domain name separately, as follows:

Generate username and password for user authentication:

#wget -c soft.vpser.net/lnmp/ext/htpasswd.sh;bash htpasswd.sh

Enter

as prompted

User name:
Password:
File name:

The script automatically generates the authentication file, auth.conf, which reads:

/usr/local/nginx/conf/auth.conf

2. Add auth authentication configuration

for Nginx

Take the auth directory under a domain name as an example. Add the following code to the server section of the domain name:

location ^~ /auth/ {
location ~ .*.(php|php5)?$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/php-cgi.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fcgi.conf;
}
auth_basic "Authorized users only";
auth_basic_user_file /usr/local/nginx/conf/auth.conf
}

auth_basic_user_file is the

path for the htpasswd file

3. Restart Nginx

Access to http://yourdomainname/auth/ prompts for a username and password.

If we only want to add user authentication for the directory the above method is not shown, let me introduce the specific directory user authentication

Add user authentication (auth basic)

to the directory

nginx's auth_basic authentication USES a password file that is compatible with apache, so we need to generate the password file through htpasswd of apache.

First look for htpasswd

on your system

find /  � name htpasswd

Generally, CentOS will be equipped with apache, which is located at:

/usr/bin/htpasswd

If not, install

yourself

yum install apache

And find the htpasswd file address.

Once we find the htpasswd file, we create a user, such as es150 en 151en

/usr/bin/htpasswd  � c /usr/local/ngnix/conf/authdb xiaoquan

The above command creates the authdb password file for xiaoquan in the nginx profile directory, but you can also create the authdb password file elsewhere, where nginx profile is easier to use.

Enter the above command and you will be prompted to enter the password prompt message, enter twice, you can add success.

Next, modify the nginx configuration file to add

under an server configuration that requires auth_basic

location /admin/ { 
      auth_basic "QuanLei Auth.";
      auth_basic_user_file /usr/local/ngnix/conf/authdb;
}

finally lets nginx use the latest configuration:

/usr/local/ngnix/sbin/nginx -s reload

 

Also, if you are using a clustered environment, Proxy_Pass:

location /admin/ {
      proxy_pass http://cluster/mgmt/;
      auth_basic "QuanLei Auth.";
      auth_basic_user_file /usr/local/ngnix/conf/authdb;
}
