nginx et .htaccess

[Andreas Enge]

Hello,

I would like to set up a web server with a password (only one user and
the associated password), in the same way as the .htaccess file does for
apache.

When looking on the web, there are examples how to do this with Ubuntu etc.,
by adding a file somewhere to /etc (with the hashed password) and editing a
line in the configuration file.

Does our nginx configuration allow us to do the same?

Andreas
