It is pretty easy to restrict access to magento admin area in nginx. Basically you need to update configuration file and restart it.
All commands applicable for debian. There might be different syntax for other versions.
Nginx config files located in /etc/nginx/sites-available
1. Restrict access by IP
Open configuration file and insert following code
1 2 3 4 | location /admin { allow 11.11.11.11; #update to your ip deny all; } |
2. Restrict access using HTTP auth
Open configuration file and insert following code
1 2 3 4 | location /admin { auth_basic "Restricted"; auth_basic_user_file /var/www/.htpasswd; } |
How to create .htpasswd file – http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/htpasswd.html
Now you can test configuration
1 | sudo service nginx configtest |
and restart nginx
1 | sudo service nginx restart |
