Password Protect a url in Nginx

Question

My question is similar to Password protect a specific URL except I'm trying to achieve this in Nginx instead of Apache.

Please suggest way to do it. It's a url with dynamic content, not a file.

Answer 1

This should work. Look at module to find out passwd file format. Basically Apache's one will be good.

location /protected/path {
    auth_basic           "closed site";
    auth_basic_user_file conf/htpasswd;
}
