Another auth/location question - probably very simple to fix :)

You may set it on, it can be turned on/off on http/server/location levels.
I usually set it off for mirror-on-demand locations:

        location /dir/ {
            open_file_cache_errors  off;
            error_page  404 = @fetch;
        }

        location @fetch {
            proxy_store  on;
            ...
        }
