Allow/Deny rules in Location block

[sandeep dubey]

I have attached my config file which may help to understand it better. With
this  change, I am getting "404 - Not Found" error and in log it says

[error] 11#11: *49 access forbidden by rule, client: 10.48.11.9, server: _,
request: "GET /auth/ HTTP/1.1", host: "my.domain.info", referrer: "
https://my.domain.info"

It seems that the rule is working but at some wrong place, I am not sure
how to organise or set the right sequence here.
