Currently have set up on my server Auth basic with the following config

location ^~/eng/photos {  
auth\_basic “Please Login”;  
auth\_basic\_user\_file /etc/nginx/passwords;  
}

Even though it does work, using openssl to encrypt passwords, how do I  
enable it so that  
login is required everytime a user access’s that page. It only  
authenticates the first time.
