How to configure Basic Auth login authentication in Nginx

Sometimes we build a file server through nginx, which is generally public, but we hope that the server is not visible to others. Some people may build a login system, but it is too troublesome and unnecessary. A simpler way is to configure Basic Auth login authentication.

1. Make sure you have httpd-tools installed

yum install httpd-tools -y

2. Create an authorized user and password

htpasswd -c -d /usr/local/openresty/nginx/conf/pass_file magina

The storage path of this configuration file can be specified at will. Here I specify the nginx configuration file directory, where magina refers to the user name allowed to log in, which can be customized

3. Configure Nginx

The general configuration is as follows:

server {
  listen 80;  
  server_name res.yinnote.com;

  auth_basic "Login Authentication"; 
  auth_basic_user_file /usr/local/openresty/nginx/conf/pass_file;

  autoindex on;
  autoindex_exact_size on;
  autoindex_localtime on;

  root /mnt/html/resource;
  index index.html index.php;
}

Among them, auth_basic and auth_basic_user_file are authentication configurations. Note that the path of the password file must be the one generated above.

4. Use

# Use in the browser. Enter the address directly in the browser, and a user password input box will pop up. Enter it to access. # Use wget
wget --http-user=magina --http-passwd=123456 http://res.yinnote.com/xxx.zip

# Using curl
curl -u magina:123456 -O http://res.yinnote.com/xxx.zip
