Hi Guys,
I need to add basic auth to my home page (index.html) (Served by
nginx) and other directories resides on tomcat7. is there anyway i
can add only authentication to index.html . i was using the following
nginx configuration.
server {
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
index index.html;
root /var/www/;
server_name xxxxxxxx;
}
location / {
auth_basic "Restricted";
auth_basic_user_file /var/www/.htpass;
}
location /next {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8080/next;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;
}
when i try to add the above config, it asks for the user/pass, but it
asks for the user/pass when i try to access /next. but i need to add
authentication only to index.html. problem is using the root
directory, so all requests will be tunneled through root and prompted
for a password. but is there any way i can restrict access only to
index.html, once it authenticated, users will be able to access tomcat
paths .
Thanks in advance,
Tharanga
