Cant get Nginx Basic Auth to work - php

Question

I am trying to get basic auth set up on an Nginx subdomain but its not working.
server {
listen 80 default;
listen 443 default ssl;
#ssl_certificate /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt;
#ssl_certificate_key /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key;
ssl_certificate /etc/pki/tls/certs/2019-wildcard.somserver.com.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/pki/tls/private/2019-wildcard.somserver.com.key;
server_name www.somserver.com;
root /var/www/vhosts/somserver.com/httpdocs;
access_log /var/log/nginx/somserver.com-access.log main;
error_log /var/log/nginx/somserver.com-error.log warn;
index index.php index.html;
location / {
auth_basic "Restricted Content";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
try_files $uri $uri/ #handler;
expires 30d;
}
location ~ ^/(app|includes|lib|media/customer|media/downloadable|pkginfo|var)/ { deny all; }
location ~ ^/RELEASE_NOTES.txt { return 404; }
location ~ ^/errors/.*\.(xml|phtml)$ { return 404; }
location ~ ^/media/.*\.(cfg|ini|xml)$ { return 404; }
location ~ ^/media/.*\.(php|pl|py|jsp|asp|htm|shtml|sh|cgi) { return 404; }
location ~ /\. { return 404; }
location /media/ {
location ~ /\. { return 404; }
location /media/ {
try_files $uri uri/ /get.php;
expires 30d;
}
location #handler {
auth_basic "Restricted Content";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
rewrite / /index.php;
}
location ~ .php/ {
auth_basic "Restricted Content";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
rewrite ^(.*.php)/ $1 last;
}
location ~ .php$ {
auth_basic "Restricted Content";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
try_files $uri /index.php;
expires off;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/somserver.com.sock;
fastcgi_buffers 256 4k;
fastcgi_buffer_size 32k;
fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
fastcgi_read_timeout 3600s;
fastcgi_param HTTPS $fastcgi_https;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_CODE default;
fastcgi_param MAGE_RUN_TYPE store;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ ^/(php-status|ping)$ {
access_log off;
allow 127.0.0.1;
allow 172.24.16.85;
deny all;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/somserver.com.sock;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param PATH_TRANSLATED $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
initially I assumed that I would just need to add it to the location / { but then even after trying to add it to all the php related locations it still seems to have no affect. Anything I can try to troubleshoot this further?
Its a Cent OS box running Nginx and FasstCGI. App is Magento, so I need to just add basic auth on php files.
