Hello,

I have a configuration in a server rule that typically only allows
access by either an auth basic request or by certain ip addresses.

Something along the lines of this:

server {
listen 80;

charset off;
server_name authsite;

satisfy any;

auth_basic "Auth Message";
auth_basic_user_file xyz.passwd;

# Allow Internal Network
allow 192.168.1.0/24;
deny all;

# many includes and location directives below
}


We have a use case were we need to allow an external agent to have
access to this site.
I'd rather not play whack-a-mole and keep adding ip addresses for this
agent.
At the same time I cannot give the agent an login and password, because
we can't control the URLs.

So I was wondering if there is a way to also allow access to this site
based on the user agent?

I tried using an if directive but that is not working.

Thanks for any ideas
