Comments on Basic HTTP Authentication With Nginx

Your example doesn't work for files under /test/

Its easy.. just replace

location /test

location ^~ /test 

Hello Everybody,

I need some help ...
Currently I am allowing authentication to the /administrator folder by (and this working fine for me):

location /administrator {
<tmpl_var name='web_document_root_www_proxy'>
index index.html index.php;
auth_basic "Members Only";
auth_basic_user_file <tmpl_var name='stats_auth_passwd_file'>;
}

However, the problem with that is if a user installs say Joomla in a subfolder within root eg

/joomla/ then that setting does not take effect.

I would like to take effect to any administrator folder accessed via the web regardless of the folder level .

Ie,

www.domain.com/administrator
www.domain.com/joomla/administrator
www.domain.com/joomla/site2/administrator

and etc ..

ALL those should be authenticated based on my .htaccess file defined above.

Please advice me on how I can modify the above directive to support that ...

Hello,

I tried this solution and it works well, but I put the path of a test directory's file (http://www.example.com/test/test.php), the prompt windows doesn't show.

Do you know how to make this rule recursive for all the test directory's content ?

Thanks :)

this is working :)

Can we add a logout buttion?

Thanks - Simple password protecting was not working until I can across this. Works great!

Which pattern can check and authenticate for path ^~/test/~/*.zip. Please help me. I need to fix my website.
