so Use secure connection with SSL/TLS setting, refer to here.

For example, set Basic Auth under the [/auth-basic] directory.

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