How to "Require User" like Apache in Nginx

[flarik]

Hi all,

I was just wondering, how to do the following in nginx:


# apache.conf:
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
<Directory /var/www/vhost/aa/htdocs/>
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /var/www/auth/htpasswd
   AuthName "pass please"
   require valid-user
   Allow from all
</Directory>

<Location />
  Require user userX 
</Location>

<LocationMatch "/(favicon.ico|style.css|logo.png)">
  Require valid-user
</LocationMatch>

<Location "/location-1">
  Require user userX userY
</Location>

<Location "/location-2">
  Require user userX userZ
</Location>
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------


For what I came up with, but I'm still missing the default user 'userX' for
everything.

# nginx.conf
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
location / {
  auth_basic "Munin";
  auth_basic_user_file /var/www/auth/htpassd;

  # userX is allow everywhere
  # below makes site inaccessible 
  #  if ( $remote_user != 'userX' ) { 
  #    return 401;
  #  }

}

location ~ ^/location-1/ {
  if ( $remote_user !~ '^(userX|userY)$' ) {
    return 401;
  }
}

location ~ ^/location-2/ {
  if ( $remote_user !~ '^(userX|userZ)$' ) {
    return 401;
  }
}

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------


Any idea how to solve this?
