Use htpasswd utility and create a .htpasswd file, see reference

After that, just add lines in nginx conf
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | location / { auth_basic "Backend Area"; auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd; ## path to your passwd file ## ... ## xyz code ##... proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4000; ## Proxy port for your app proxy_set_header Authorization ""; ## DONT FORGET THIS. reset the auth header include proxy.inc;} |
Restart nginx now or test first using “nginx -t”
