Prompting users for a password before accessing a page.

Place the following two entries in nginx configuration file:

auth_basic "Restricted";                                
auth_basic_user_file /var/www/mywebsite.com/.htpasswd;

Eg:

  location / {
      root   /var/www/mywebsite.com;
      index  index.html index.htm;
      auth_basic "Restricted";                                #For Basic Auth
      auth_basic_user_file /var/www/mywebsite.com/.htpasswd;  #For Basic Auth
  }

The .htpasswd must contain:
username:password

Generate the password with this command:

[root@IBM ~]#printf "USERNAME:$(openssl passwd -crypt PASSWORD)\n" >> htpasswd
