Hi, I’m trying to implement HTTP authentication as outlined in this
article
I went through the early steps in the tutorial where it prompts you to
create a password. That was fine. I then added the two auth_basic and
auth_basic_user_file lines to the second location block in my nginx.conf
(see below) and pushed it to my server (which necessarily restarts the
server), but the http authentication isn’t happening. I can access my
demo
rails app without problem.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Thanks if you can help
