 [1] .Add setting on a site config you'd like to set.
For example, set Basic Auth under the [/auth-basic] directory.

 
[root@www ~]# dnf -y install httpd-tools
[root@www ~]# vi /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl.conf
# add into the [server] section

server {
    .....
    .....
    location /auth-basic/ {
        auth_basic            "Basic Auth";
        auth_basic_user_file  "/etc/nginx/.htpasswd";
    }

[root@www ~]# mkdir /usr/share/nginx/html/auth-basic

[root@www ~]# systemctl restart nginx
# add user for Basic authentication

[root@www ~]# htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/.htpasswd cent

New password:        # set any password
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user cent

# create a test page

[root@www ~]# vi /usr/share/nginx/html/auth-basic/index.html

<html>
<body>
<div style="width: 100%; font-size: 40px; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">
Test Page for Basic Authentication
</div>
</body>
</html>


[2] . Access to the test page from any client computer with web browser. Then authentication is required as settings, answer with a user added in [1].
