Hi,

I have a password file that contains several users, but for one
particular page on my site, I want only one specific user from that file
to be allowed access. Apache has a "Require user" directive for this,
and I'm looking for an equivalent in nginx.

I've tried testing the value of $remote_user -- this is what I have at
the moment:

location /foo {
auth_basic "Foo";
auth_basic_user_file "foo-htpasswd";

if ($remote_user = "leigh") {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:19000;
}
}

This mostly works, but if you log in with an account other than "leigh"
that's in the password file, the browser returns a 404 and no longer
prompts for login details. I'd like to keep prompting the user for a
login until they successfully log in with the "leigh" account.

Thanks
Leigh
