[root@www ~]#
yum -y install httpd-tools
[root@www ~]#
vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
# add into "server" section

        location /auth-basic {
            auth_basic            "Basic Auth";
            auth_basic_user_file  "/etc/nginx/.htpasswd";
        }
[root@www ~]#
htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/.htpasswd cent

New password:
