Firstly I’m a newbie on both mailing lists AND nginx so please be nice  
to me  
😃

I use nginx as a reverse proxy and it works flawlessly.  
But now I want to put basic authentication on certain ip addresses.  
IE.

If I come from 10.0.0.0/24 network it should go through as usual.  
But if I come from 10.100.0.0/24 it should have basic authentication.  
Is there any way to accomplish this?

I use Apache as a backend webserver.

I THINK you can define 2 server {} blocks and in each one define the IP  
as the server\_name or listen directive, it might work.

location / {  
satisfy any;

```
allow 10.0.0.0/24;
deny all;

auth_basic "closed site";
auth_basic_user_file conf/htpasswd;

```

}

Directive “satisfy\_any” was replaced by “satisfy” in 0.6.25.  
Somebody have to fix wiki.
