Hi , I am trying to setup different authentication based on different strings in the $request , here is my case .
location /parent/ { set $basic_file /nginx/conf/.htpasswd; if ($request_uri ~ (visualize|dashboard|settings)){ set $basic_file /nginx/conf/.dev_pass; } proxy_pass http://<some ip and port >/; auth_basic "Restricted"; auth_basic_user_file $basic_file; } I would like file .htpasswd to be used by default and in case of $request_uri having (visualize|dashboard|settings) , auth should happen via .dev_pass . For some reason the authentication is happening only via htpasswd even if i have (visualize|dashboard|settings) in the URI . Any idea , what am i missing?
